This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) on U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/518,075 filed on Nov. 6,2003 and Provisional Application No. 60/527,611 filed on Dec. 4, 2003,the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to promoters and promoter control elementsthat are useful for modulating transcription of a desiredpolynucleotide. Such promoters and promoter control elements can beincluded in a polynucleotide construct, expression cassettes, vectors,or inserted into the chromosome or as an exogenous element, to modulatein vivo and in vitro transcription of a polynucleotide. Host cells,including plant cells, and organisms, such as regenerated plantstherefrom, with desired traits or characteristics using polynucleotidescomprising the promoters and promoter control elements of the presentinvention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to the field of biotechnology and, in particular,to specific promoter sequences and promoter control element sequenceswhich are useful for the transcription of polynucleotides in a host cellor transformed host organism.

One of the primary goals of biotechnology is to obtain organisms, suchas plants, mammals, yeast, and prokaryotes having particular desiredcharacteristics or traits. Examples of these characteristic or traitsabound and may include, for example, in plants, virus resistance, insectresistance, herbicide resistance, enhanced stability or additionalnutritional value. Recent advances in genetic engineering have enabledresearchers in the field to incorporate polynucleotide sequences intohost cells to obtain the desired qualities in the organism of choice.This technology permits one or more polynucleotides from a sourcedifferent than the organism of choice to be transcribed by the organismof choice. If desired, the transcription and/or translation of these newpolynucleotides can be modulated in the organism to exhibit a desiredcharacteristic or trait. Alternatively, new patterns of transcriptionand/or translation of polynucleotides endogenous to the organism can beproduced. Both approaches can be used at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1. Definitions

Chimeric: The term “chimeric” is used to describe polynucleotides orgenes, as defined supra, or constructs wherein at least two of theelements of the polynucleotide or gene or construct, such as thepromoter and the polynucleotide to be transcribed and/or otherregulatory sequences and/or filler sequences and/or complements thereof,are heterologous to each other.

Constitutive Promoter: Promoters referred to herein as “constitutivepromoters” actively promote transcription under most, but notnecessarily all, environmental conditions and states of development orcell differentiation. Examples of constitutive promoters include thecauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S transcript initiation region and the1′ or 2′ promoter derived from T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, andother transcription initiation regions from various plant genes, such asthe maize ubiquitin-1 promoter, known to those of skill.

Core Promoter: This is the minimal stretch of contiguous DNA sequencethat is sufficient to direct accurate initiation of transcription by theRNA polymerase II machinery (for review see: Struhl, 1987, Cell 49:295–297; Smale, 1994, In Transcription: Mechanisms and Regulation (edsR. C. Conaway and J. W. Conaway), pp 63–81/Raven Press, Ltd., New York;Smale, 1997, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1351: 73–88; Smale et al., 1998,Cold Spring Harb. Symp. Quant. Biol. 58: 21–31; Smale, 2001, Genes &Dev. 15: 2503–2508; Weis and Reinberg, 1992, FASEB J. 6: 3300–3309;Burke et al., 1998, Cold Spring Harb. Symp. Quant. Biol 63: 75–82).There are several sequence motifs, including the TATA box, initiator(Inr), TFIIB recognition element (BRE) and downstream core promoterelement (DPE), that are commonly found in core promoters, however notall of these elements occur in all promoters and there are no universalcore promoter elements (Butler and Kadonaga, 2002, Genes & Dev. 16:2583–2592).

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

Domain: Domains are fingerprints or signatures that can be used tocharacterize protein families and/or parts of proteins. Suchfingerprints or signatures can comprise conserved (1) primary sequence,(2) secondary structure, and/or (3) three-dimensional conformation. Asimilar analysis can be applied to polynucleotides. Generally, eachdomain has been associated with either a conserved primary sequence or asequence motif. Generally these conserved primary sequence motifs havebeen correlated with specific in vitro and/or in vivo activities. Adomain can be any length, including the entirety of the polynucleotideto be transcribed. Examples of domains include, without limitation, AP2,helicase, homeobox, zinc finger, etc.

Endogenous: The term “endogenous,” within the context of the currentinvention refers to any polynucleotide, polypeptide or protein sequencewhich is a natural part of a cell or organisms regenerated from saidcell. In the context of promoter, the term “endogenous coding region” or“endogenous cDNA” refers to the coding region that is naturally operablylinked to the promoter.

Enhancer/Suppressor: An “enhancer” is a DNA regulatory element that canincrease the steady state level of a transcript, usually by increasingthe rate of transcription initiation. Enhancers usually exert theireffect regardless of the distance, upstream or downstream location, ororientation of the enhancer relative to the start site of transcription.In contrast, a “suppressor” is a corresponding DNA regulatory elementthat decreases the steady state level of a transcript, again usually byaffecting the rate of transcription initiation. The essential activityof enhancer and suppressor elements is to bind a protein factor(s). Suchbinding can be assayed, for example, by methods described below. Thebinding is typically in a manner that influences the steady state levelof a transcript in a cell or in an in vitro transcription extract.

Exogenous: As referred to within, “exogenous” is any polynucleotide,polypeptide or protein sequence, whether chimeric or not, that isintroduced into the genome of a host cell or organism regenerated fromsaid host cell by any means other than by a sexual cross. Examples ofmeans by which this can be accomplished are described below, and includeAgrobacterium-mediated transformation (of dicots—e.g. Salomon et al.EMBO J. 3:141 (1984); Herrera-Estrella et al. EMBO J. 2:987 (1983); ofmonocots, representative papers are those by Escudero et al., Plant J.10:355 (1996), Ishida et al., Nature Biotechnology 14:745 (1996), May etal., Bio/Technology 13:486 (1995)), biolistic methods (Annaleo et al.,Current Genetics 17:97 1990)), electroporation, in planta techniques,and the like. Such a plant containing the exogenous nucleic acid isreferred to here as a T₀ for the primary transgenic plant and T₁ for thefirst generation. The term “exogenous” as used herein is also intendedto encompass inserting a naturally found element into a non-naturallyfound location.

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

Gene: The term “gene,” as used in the context of the current invention,encompasses all regulatory and coding sequence contiguously associatedwith a single hereditary unit with a genetic function (see SCHEMATIC 1).Genes can include non-coding sequences that modulate the geneticfunction that include, but are not limited to, those that specifypolyadenylation, transcriptional regulation, DNA conformation, chromatinconformation, extent and position of base methylation and binding sitesof proteins that control all of these. Genes encoding proteins arecomprised of “exons” (coding sequences), which may be interrupted by“introns” (non-coding sequences). In some instances complexes of aplurality of protein or nucleic acids or other molecules, or of any twoof the above, may be required for a gene's function. On the other hand agene's genetic function may require only RNA expression or proteinproduction, or may only require binding of proteins and/or nucleic acidswithout associated expression. In certain cases, genes adjacent to oneanother may share sequence in such a way that one gene will overlap theother. A gene can be found within the genome of an organism, in anartificial chromosome, in a plasmid, in any other sort of vector, or asa separate isolated entity.

Heterologous sequences: “Heterologous sequences” are those that are notoperatively linked or are not contiguous to each other in nature. Forexample, a promoter from corn is considered heterologous to anArabidopsis coding region sequence. Also, a promoter from a geneencoding a growth factor from corn is considered heterologous to asequence encoding the corn receptor for the growth factor. Regulatoryelement sequences, such as UTRs or 3′ end termination sequences that donot originate in nature from the same gene as the coding sequenceoriginates from, are considered heterologous to said coding sequence.Elements operatively linked in nature and contiguous to each other arenot heterologous to each other.

Homologous: In the current invention, a “homologous” gene orpolynucleotide or polypeptide refers to a gene or polynucleotide orpolypeptide that shares sequence similarity with the gene orpolynucleotide or polypeptide of interest. This similarity may be inonly a fragment of the sequence and often represents a functional domainsuch as, examples including without limitation a DNA binding domain or adomain with tyrosine kinase activity. The functional activities ofhomologous polynucleotide are not necessarily the same.

Inducible Promoter: An “inducible promoter” in the context of thecurrent invention refers to a promoter, the activity of which isinfluenced by certain conditions, such as light, temperature, chemicalconcentration, protein concentration, conditions in an organism, cell,or organelle, etc. A typical example of an inducible promoter, which canbe utilized with the polynucleotides of the present invention, isPARSK1, the promoter from an Arabidopsis gene encoding aserine-threonine kinase enzyme, and which promoter is induced bydehydration, abscissic acid and sodium chloride (Wang and Goodman, PlantJ. 8:37 (1995), which is hereby incorporated by reference). Examples ofenvironmental conditions that may affect transcription by induciblepromoters include anaerobic conditions, elevated temperature, thepresence or absence of a nutrient or other chemical compound or thepresence of light.

Modulate Transcription Level: As used herein, the phrase “modulatetranscription” describes the biological activity of a promoter sequenceor promoter control element. Such modulation includes, withoutlimitation, includes up- and down-regulation of initiation oftranscription, rate of transcription, and/or transcription levels.

Mutant: In the current invention, “mutant” refers to a heritable changein nucleotide sequence at a specific location. Mutant genes of thecurrent invention may or may not have an associated identifiablephenotype.

Operable Linkage: An “operable linkage” is a linkage in which a promotersequence or promoter control element is connected to a polynucleotidesequence (or sequences) in such a way as to place transcription of thepolynucleotide sequence under the influence or control of the promoteror promoter control element. Two DNA sequences (such as a polynucleotideto be transcribed and a promoter sequence linked to the 5′ end of thepolynucleotide to be transcribed) are said to be operably linked ifinduction of promoter function results in the transcription of mRNAencoding the polynucleotide and if the nature of the linkage between thetwo DNA sequences does not (1) result in the introduction of aframe-shift mutation, (2) interfere with the ability of the promotersequence to direct the expression of the protein, antisense RNA orribozyme, or (3) interfere with the ability of the DNA template to betranscribed. Thus, a promoter sequence would be operably linked to apolynucleotide sequence if the promoter was capable of effectingtranscription of that polynucleotide sequence.

Optional Promoter Fragments: The phrase “optional promoter fragments” isused to refer to any sub-sequence of the promoter that is not requiredfor driving transcription of an operationally linked coding region.These fragments comprise the 5′ UTR and any exon(s) of the endogenouscoding region. The optional promoter fragments may also comprise anyexon(s) and the 3′ or 5′ UTR of the gene residing upstream of thepromoter (that is, 5′ to the promoter). Optional promoter fragments alsoinclude any intervening sequences that are introns or sequence thatoccurs between exons or an exon and the UTR.

Orthologous: “Orthologous” is a term used herein to describe arelationship between two or more polynucleotides or proteins. Twopolynucleotides or proteins are “orthologous” to one another if theyserve a similar function in different organisms. In general, orthologouspolynucleotides or proteins will have similar catalytic functions (whenthey encode enzymes) or will serve similar structural functions (whenthey encode proteins or RNA that form part of the ultrastructure of acell).

Percentage of sequence identity: “Percentage of sequence identity,” asused herein, is determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequencesover a comparison window, where the fragment of the polynucleotide oramino acid sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions ordeletions (e.g., gaps or overhangs) as compared to the referencesequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimalalignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated bydetermining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acidbase or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the numberof matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by thetotal number of positions in the window of comparison and multiplyingthe result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity. Optimalalignment of sequences for comparison may be conducted by the localhomology algorithm of Smith and Waterman Add. APL. Math. 2:482 (1981),by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch J. Mol.Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson andLipman Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 85: 2444 (1988), by computerizedimplementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST, PASTA, andTFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics ComputerGroup (GCG), 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by inspection. Giventhat two sequences have been identified for comparison, GAP and BESTFITare preferably employed to determine their optimal alignment. Typically,the default values of 5.00 for gap weight and 0.30 for gap weight lengthare used. All of the references discussed in this paragraph are herebyincorporated by reference.

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

Plant Promoter: A “plant promoter” is a promoter capable of initiatingtranscription in plant cells and can modulate transcription of apolynucleotide. Such promoters need not be of plant origin. For example,promoters derived from plant viruses, such as the CaMV35S promoter orfrom Agrobacterium tumefaciens such as the T-DNA promoters, can be plantpromoters. A typical example of a plant promoter of plant origin is themaize ubiquitin-1 (ubi-1) promoter known to those of skill.

Plant Tissue: The term “plant tissue” includes differentiated andundifferentiated tissues or plants, including but not limited to roots,stems, shoots, cotyledons, epicotyl, hypocotyl, leaves, pollen, seeds,tumor tissue and various forms of cells in culture such as single cells,protoplast, embryos, and callus tissue. The plant tissue may be inplants or in organ, tissue or cell culture.

Preferential Transcription: “Preferential transcription” is defined astranscription that occurs in a particular pattern of cell types ordevelopmental times or in response to specific stimuli or combinationthereof. Non-limitive examples of preferential transcription include:high transcript levels of a desired sequence in root tissues; detectabletranscript levels of a desired sequence in certain cell types duringembryogenesis; and low transcript levels of a desired sequence underdrought conditions. Such preferential transcription can be determined bymeasuring initiation, rate, and/or levels of transcription.

Promoter: A “promoter” is a DNA sequence that directs the transcriptionof a polynucleotide. Typically a promoter is located in the 5′ region ofa polynucleotide to be transcribed, proximal to the transcriptionalstart site of such polynucleotide. More typically, promoters are definedas the region upstream of the first exon; more typically, as a regionupstream of the first of multiple transcription start sites; moretypically, as the region downstream of the preceding gene and upstreamof the first of multiple transcription start sites; more typically, theregion downstream of the polyA signal and upstream of the first ofmultiple transcription start sites; even more typically, about 3,000nucleotides upstream of the ATG of the first exon; even more typically,2,000 nucleotides upstream of the first of multiple transcription startsites. The promoters of the invention comprise at least a core promoteras defined above. Frequently promoters are capable of directingtranscription of genes located on each of the complementary DNA strandsthat are 3′ to the promoter. Stated differently, many promoters exhibitbidirectionality and can direct transcription of a downstream gene whenpresent in either orientation (i.e. 5′ to 3′ or 3′ to 5′ relative to thecoding region of the gene). Additionally, the promoter may also includeat least one control element such as an upstream element. Such elementsinclude UARs and optionally, other DNA sequences that affecttranscription of a polynucleotide such as a synthetic upstream element.

Promoter Control Element: The term “promoter control element” as usedherein describes elements that influence the activity of the promoter.Promoter control elements include transcriptional regulatory sequencedeterminants such as, but not limited to, enhancers, scaffold/matrixattachment regions, TATA boxes, transcription start locus controlregions, UARs, URRs, other transcription factor binding sites andinverted repeats.

Public sequence: The term “public sequence,” as used in the context ofthe instant application, refers to any sequence that has been depositedin a publicly accessible database prior to the filing date of thepresent application. This term encompasses both amino acid andnucleotide sequences. Such sequences are publicly accessible, forexample, on the BLAST databases on the NCBI FTP web site (accessible atncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ftp). The database at the NCBI FTP site utilizes “gi”numbers assigned by NCBI as a unique identifier for each sequence in thedatabases, thereby providing a non-redundant database for sequence fromvarious databases, including GenBank, EMBL, DBBJ, (DNA Database ofJapan) and PDB (Brookhaven Protein Data Bank).

Regulatory Sequence: The term “regulatory sequence,” as used in thecurrent invention, refers to any nucleotide sequence that influencestranscription or translation initiation and rate, or stability and/ormobility of a transcript or polypeptide product. Regulatory sequencesinclude, but are not limited to, promoters, promoter control elements,protein binding sequences, 5′ and 3′ UTRs, transcriptional start sites,termination sequences, polyadenylation sequences, introns, certainsequences within amino acid coding sequences such as secretory signals,protease cleavage sites, etc.

Related Sequences: “Related sequences” refer to either a polypeptide ora nucleotide sequence that exhibits some degree of sequence similaritywith a reference sequence.

Specific Promoters: In the context of the current invention, “specificpromoters” refers to a subset of promoters that have a high preferencefor modulating transcript levels in a specific tissue or organ or celland/or at a specific time during development of an organism. By “highpreference” is meant at least 3-fold, preferably 5-fold, more preferablyat least 10-fold still more preferably at least 20-fold, 50-fold or100-fold increase in transcript levels under the specific condition overthe transcription under any other reference condition considered.Typical examples of temporal and/or tissue or organ specific promotersof plant origin that can be used with the polynucleotides of the presentinvention, are: PTA29, a promoter which is capable of driving genetranscription specifically in tapetum and only during anther development(Koltonow et al., Plant Cell 2:1201 (1990); RCc2 and RCc3, promotersthat direct root-specific gene transcription in rice (Xu et al., PlantMol. Biol. 27:237 (1995); TobRB27, a root-specific promoter from tobacco(Yamamoto et al., Plant Cell 3:371 (1991)). Examples of tissue-specificpromoters under developmental control include promoters that initiatetranscription only in certain tissues or organs, such as root, ovule,fruit, seeds, or flowers. Other specific promoters include those fromgenes encoding seed storage proteins or the lipid body membrane protein,oleosin. A few root-specific promoters are noted above. See also“Preferential transcription”.

Stringency: “Stringency” as used herein is a function of probe length,probe composition (G+C content), and salt concentration, organic solventconcentration, and temperature of hybridization or wash conditions.Stringency is typically compared by the parameter T_(m), which is thetemperature at which 50% of the complementary molecules in thehybridization are hybridized, in terms of a temperature differentialfrom T_(m). High stringency conditions are those providing a conditionof T_(m)−5° C. to T_(m)−10° C. Medium or moderate stringency conditionsare those providing T_(m)−20° C. to T_(m)−29° C. Low stringencyconditions are those providing a condition of T_(m)−40° C. to T_(m)−48°C. The relationship of hybridization conditions to T_(m) (in ° C.) isexpressed in the mathematical equationT _(m)=81.5−16.6(log₁₀[Na⁺])+0.41(% G+C)−(600/N)  (1)where N is the length of the probe. This equation works well for probes14 to 70 nucleotides in length that are identical to the targetsequence. The equation below for T_(m) of DNA-DNA hybrids is useful forprobes in the range of 50 to greater than 500 nucleotides, and forconditions that include an organic solvent (formamide).T _(m)=81.5+16.6 log {[Na⁺]/(1+0.7[Na⁺])}+0.41(% G+C)−500/L0.63(%formamide)  (2)where L is the length of the probe in the hybrid. (P. Tijessen,“Hybridization with Nucleic Acid Probes” in Laboratory Techniques inBiochemistry and Molecular Biology, P. C. vand der Vliet, ed., c. 1993by Elsevier, Amsterdam.) The T_(m) of equation (2) is affected by thenature of the hybrid; for DNA-RNA hybrids T_(m) is 10–15° C. higher thancalculated, for RNA-RNA hybrids T_(m) is 20–25° C. higher. Because theT_(m) decreases about 1° C. for each 1% decrease in homology when a longprobe is used (Bonner et al., J. Mol. Biol. 81:123 (1973)), stringencyconditions can be adjusted to favor detection of identical genes orrelated family members.

Equation (2) is derived assuming equilibrium and therefore,hybridizations according to the present invention are most preferablyperformed under conditions of probe excess and for sufficient time toachieve equilibrium. The time required to reach equilibrium can beshortened by inclusion of a hybridization accelerator such as dextransulfate or another high volume polymer in the hybridization buffer.

Stringency can be controlled during the hybridization reaction or afterhybridization has occurred by altering the salt and temperatureconditions of the wash solutions used. The formulas shown above areequally valid when used to compute the stringency of a wash solution.Preferred wash solution stringencies lie within the ranges stated above;high stringency is 5–8° C. below T_(m), medium or moderate stringency is26–29° C. below T_(m) and low stringency is 45–48° C. below T_(m).

Substantially free of: A composition containing A is “substantially freeof” B when at least 85% by weight of the total A+B in the composition isA. Preferably, A comprises at least about 90% by weight of the total ofA+B in the composition, more preferably at least about 95% or even 99%by weight. For example, a plant gene can be substantially free of otherplant genes. Other examples include, but are not limited to, ligandssubstantially free of receptors (and vice versa), a growth factorsubstantially free of other growth factors and a transcription bindingfactor substantially free of nucleic acids.

Suppressor: See “Enhancer/Suppressor”

TATA to start: “TATA to start” shall mean the distance, in number ofnucleotides, between the primary TATA motif and the start oftranscription.

Transgenic plant: A “transgenic plant” is a plant having one or moreplant cells that contain at least one exogenous polynucleotideintroduced by recombinant nucleic acid methods.

Translational start site: In the context of the present invention, a“translational start site” is usually an ATG or AUG in a transcript,often the first ATG or AUG. A single protein encoding transcript,however, may have multiple translational start sites.

Transcription start site: “Transcription start site” is used in thecurrent invention to describe the point at which transcription isinitiated. This point is typically located about 25 nucleotidesdownstream from a TFIID binding site, such as a TATA box. Transcriptioncan initiate at one or more sites within the gene, and a singlepolynucleotide to be transcribed may have multiple transcriptional startsites, some of which may be specific for transcription in a particularcell-type or tissue or organ. “+1” is stated relative to thetranscription start site and indicates the first nucleotide in atranscript.

Upstream Activating Region (UAR): An “Upstream Activating Region” or“UAR” is a position or orientation dependent nucleic acid element thatprimarily directs tissue, organ, cell type, or environmental regulationof transcript level, usually by affecting the rate of transcriptioninitiation. Corresponding DNA elements that have a transcriptioninhibitory effect are called herein “Upstream Repressor Regions” or“URR”s. The essential activity of these elements is to bind a proteinfactor. Such binding can be assayed by methods described below. Thebinding is typically in a manner that influences the steady state levelof a transcript in a cell or in vitro transcription extract.

Untranslated region (UTR): A “UTR” is any contiguous series ofnucleotide bases that is transcribed, but is not translated. A 5′ UTRlies between the start site of the transcript and the translationinitiation codon and includes the +1 nucleotide. A 3′ UTR lies betweenthe translation termination codon and the end of the transcript. UTRscan have particular functions such as increasing mRNA message stabilityor translation attenuation. Examples of 3′ UTRs include, but are notlimited to polyadenylation signals and transcription terminationsequences.

Variant: The term “variant” is used herein to denote a polypeptide orprotein or polynucleotide molecule that differs from others of its kindin some way. For example, polypeptide and protein variants can consistof changes in amino acid sequence and/or charge and/orpost-translational modifications (such as glycosylation, etc). Likewise,polynucleotide variants can consist of changes that add or delete aspecific UTR or exon sequence. It will be understood that there may besequence variations within sequence or fragments used or disclosed inthis application. Preferably, variants will be such that the sequenceshave at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%,at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity. Variants preferablymeasure the primary biological function of the native polypeptide orprotein or polynucleotide.

A. Identifying and Isolating Promoter Sequences of the Invention

The promoters and promoter control elements of the present inventionpresented in Table 1 (SEQ ID NOS: 1–66) were identified from Arabidopsisthaliana or Oryza sativa. Additional promoter sequences encompassed bythe invention can be identified as described below.

(1) Cloning Methods

Isolation from genomic libraries of polynucleotides comprising thesequences of the promoters and promoter control elements of the presentinvention is possible using known techniques.

For example, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can amplify the desiredpolynucleotides utilizing primers designed from sequences in Table 2.Polynucleotide libraries comprising genomic sequences can be constructedaccording to Sambrook et al., (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,2^(nd) Ed. (1989) Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.,for example.

Other procedures for isolating polynucleotides comprising the promotersequences of the invention include, without limitation, tail-PCR, and 5′rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). See, for tail-PCR, for example,Liu et al., Plant J 8(3): 457–463 (September, 1995); Liu et al.,Genomics 25: 674–681 (1995); Liu et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 21(14):3333–3334 (1993); and Zoe et al., BioTechniques 27(2): 240–248 (1999);for RACE, see, for example, PCR Protocols: A Guide to Methods andApplications, (1990) Academic Press, Inc.

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

(2) Chemical Synthesis

In addition, the promoters and promoter control elements described inTable 1 can be chemically synthesized according to techniques in commonuse. See, for example, Beaucage et al., Tet. Lett. (1981) 22: 1859 andU.S. Pat. No. 4,668,777, both of which are hereby incorporated byreference.

Such chemical oligonucleotide synthesis can be carried out usingcommercially available devices, such as, Biosearch 4600 or 8600 DNAsynthesizer, by Applied Biosystems, a division of Perkin-Elmer Corp.,Foster City, Calif., USA; and Expedite by Perceptive Biosystems,Framingham, Mass., USA.

Synthetic RNA, including natural and/or analog building blocks, can besynthesized on the Biosearch 8600 machines, see above.

Oligonucleotides can be synthesized and then ligated together toconstruct the desired polynucleotide.

B. Generating Reduced and “Core” Promoter Sequences

Included in the present invention are reduced and “core” promotersequences. The reduced promoters can be isolated from the promoters ofthe invention by deleting at least one 5′ UTR, exon or 3′ UTR sequencepresent in the promoter sequence that is associated with a gene orcoding region located 5′ to the promoter sequence or in the promoter'sendogenous coding region.

Similarly, the “core” promoter sequences can be generated by deletingall 5′ UTRs, exons and 3′ UTRs present in the promoter sequence and theassociated intervening sequences that are related to the gene or codingregion 5′ to the promoter region and the promoter's endogenous codingregion.

This data is presented in Table 3.

C. Isolating Related Promoter Sequences

Included in the present invention are promoter and promoter controlelements that are related to those described in Table 1. Such relatedsequence can be isolated utilizing

-   -   (a) nucleotide sequence identity;    -   (b) coding sequence identity; or    -   (c) common function or gene products.        Relatives can include both naturally occurring promoters and        non-natural promoter sequences. Non-natural related promoters        include nucleotide substitutions, insertions or deletions of        naturally-occurring promoter sequences that do not substantially        affect transcription modulation activity. For example, the        binding of relevant DNA binding proteins can still occur with        the non-natural promoter sequences and promoter control elements        of the present invention.

According to current knowledge, promoter sequences and promoter controlelements exist as functionally important regions, such as proteinbinding sites, and spacer regions. These spacer regions are apparentlyrequired for proper positioning of the protein binding sites. Thus,nucleotide substitutions, insertions and deletions can be tolerated inthese spacer regions to a certain degree without loss of function.

In contrast, less variation is permissible in the functionally importantregions, since changes in the sequence can interfere with proteinbinding. Nonetheless, some variation in the functionally importantregions is permissible so long as function is conserved.

The effects of substitutions, insertions and deletions to the promotersequences or promoter control elements may be to increase or decreasethe binding of relevant DNA binding proteins to modulate transcriptlevels of a polynucleotide to be transcribed. Effects may includetissue-specific or condition-specific modulation of transcript levels ofthe polypeptide to be transcribed. Polynucleotides representing changesto the nucleotide sequence of the DNA-protein contact region byinsertion of additional nucleotides, changes to identity of relevantnucleotides, including use of chemically-modified bases, or deletion ofone or more nucleotides are considered encompassed by the presentinvention.

(1) Relatives Based on Nucleotide Sequence Identity

Included in the present invention are promoters exhibiting nucleotidesequence identity to those described in Table 1.

Definition

Typically, such related promoters exhibit at least 80% sequenceidentity, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, andmost preferably at least 95%, even more preferably, at least 96%, atleast 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% sequence identity compared tothose shown in Table 1. Such sequence identity can be calculated by thealgorithms and computers programs described above.

Usually, such sequence identity is exhibited in an alignment region thatis at least 75% of the length of a sequence shown in Table 1 orcorresponding full-length sequence; more usually at least 80%; moreusually, at least 85%, more usually at least 90%, and most usually atleast 95%, even more usually, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%or at least 99% of the length of a sequence shown in Table 1.

The percentage of the alignment length is calculated by counting thenumber of residues of the sequence in region of strongest alignment,e.g., a continuous region of the sequence that contains the greatestnumber of residues that are identical to the residues between twosequences that are being aligned. The number of residues in the regionof strongest alignment is divided by the total residue length of asequence in Table 1.

These related promoters may exhibit similar preferential transcriptionas those promoters described in Table 1.

Construction of Polynucleotides

Naturally occurring promoters that exhibit nucleotide sequence identityto those shown in Table 1 can be isolated using the techniques asdescribed above. More specifically, such related promoters can beidentified by varying stringencies, as defined above, in typicalhybridization procedures such as Southern blots or probing ofpolynucleotide libraries, for example.

Non-natural promoter variants of those shown in Table 1 can beconstructed using cloning methods that incorporate the desirednucleotide variation. See, for example, Ho, S. N., et al. Gene 77:51–591989, describing a procedure site directed mutagenesis using PCR, whichis hereby incorporated by reference.

Any related promoter showing sequence identity to those shown in Table 1can be chemically synthesized as described above.

Also, the present invention includes non-natural promoters that exhibitthe above-sequence identity to those in Table 1.

The promoters and promoter control elements of the present invention mayalso be synthesized with 5′ or 3′ extensions, to facilitate additionalmanipulation, for instance.

The present invention also includes reduced promoter sequences. Thesesequences have at least one of the optional promoter fragments deleted.

Core promoter sequences are another embodiment of the present invention.The core promoter sequences have all of the optional promoter fragmentsdeleted.

Testing of Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides of the invention were tested for activity by cloning thesequence into an appropriate vector, transforming plants with theconstruct and assaying for marker gene expression. Recombinant DNAconstructs were prepared which comprise the polynucleotide sequences ofthe invention inserted into a vector suitable for transformation ofplant cells. The construct can be made using standard recombinant DNAtechniques (Sambrook et al. 1989) and can be introduced to the speciesof interest by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation or by other meansof transformation as referenced below.

The vector backbone can be any of those typical in the art such asplasmids, viruses, artificial chromosomes, BACs, YACs and PACs andvectors of the sort described by

Mol. Biol. 170: 827–842 (1983); or Insertion vector, e.g.,    Huynh et al., In: Glover N M (ed) DNA Cloning: A practical Approach,    Vol. 1 Oxford: IRL Press (1985); T-DNA gene fusion vectors: Walden    et al., Mol Cell Biol 1: 175–194 (1990); and-   (g) Plasmid vectors: Sambrook et al., infra.

Typically, the construct comprises a vector containing a sequence of thepresent invention operationally linked to any marker gene. Thepolynucleotide was identified as a promoter by the expression of themarker gene. Although many marker genes can be used, Green FluroescentProtein (GFP) is preferred. The vector may also comprise a marker genethat confers a selectable phenotype on plant cells. The marker mayencode biocide resistance, particularly antibiotic resistance, such asresistance to kanamycin, G418, bleomycin, hygromycin, or herbicideresistance, such as resistance to chlorosulfuron or phosphinotricin.Vectors can also include origins of replication, scaffold attachmentregions (SARs), markers, homologous sequences, introns, etc.

Promoter Control Elements of the Invention

Relatives Based on Nucleotide Sequence Identity

Included in the present invention are promoter control elementsexhibiting nucleotide sequence identity to those described in Table 1 offragments thereof.

Typically, such related promoters exhibit at least 80% sequenceidentity, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, andmost preferably at least 95%, even more preferably, at least 96%, atleast 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% sequence identity compared tothose shown in Table 1. Such sequence identity can be calculated by thealgorithms and computers programs described above.

Promoter Control Element Configuration

A common configuration of the promoter control elements in RNApolymerase II promoters is shown in FIG. 2. For more description, see,for example, “Models for prediction and recognition of eukaryoticpromoters”, T. Werner, Mammalian Genome, 10, 168–175 (1999).

Promoters are generally modular in nature. Promoters can consist of abasal promoter which functions as a site for assembly of a transcriptioncomplex comprising an RNA polymerase, for example RNA polymerase II. Atypical transcription complex will include additional factors such asTF_(II)B, TF_(II)D, and TF_(II)E. Of these, TF_(II)D appears to be theonly one to bind DNA directly. The promoter might also contain one ormore promoter control elements such as the elements discussed above.These additional control elements may function as binding sites foradditional transcription factors that have the function of modulatingthe level of transcription with respect to tissue specificity and oftranscriptional responses to particular environmental or nutritionalfactors, and the like.

One type of promoter control element is a polynucleotide sequencerepresenting a binding site for proteins. Typically, within a particularfunctional module, protein binding sites constitute regions of 5 to 60,preferably 10 to 30, more preferably 10 to 20 nucleotides. Within suchbinding sites, there are typically 2 to 6 nucleotides which specificallycontact amino acids of the nucleic acid binding protein.

The protein binding sites are usually separated from each other by 10 toseveral hundred nucleotides, typically by 15 to 150 nucleotides, oftenby 20 to 50 nucleotides.

Further, protein binding sites in promoter control elements oftendisplay dyad symmetry in their sequence. Such elements can bind severaldifferent proteins, and/or a plurality of sites can bind the sameprotein. Both types of elements may be combined in a region of 50 to1,000 base pairs.

Binding sites for any specific factor have been known to occur almostanywhere in a promoter. For example, functional AP-1 binding sites canbe located far upstream, as in the rat bone sialoprotein gene, where anAP-1 site located about 900 nucleotides upstream of the transcriptionstart site suppresses expression. Yamauchi et al., Matrix Biol., 15,119–130 (1996). Alternatively, an AP-1 site located close to thetranscription start site plays an important role in the expression ofMoloney murine leukemia virus. Sap et al., Nature, 340, 242–244, (1989).

(2) Those Identifiable by Bioinformatics

Promoter control elements from the promoters of the instant inventioncan be identified utilizing bioinformatic or computer driven techniques.

One method uses a computer program AlignACE to identify regulatorymotifs in genes that exhibit common preferential transcription across anumber of time points. The program identifies common sequence motifs insuch genes. See, Roth et al., Nature Biotechnol. 16: 949–945 (1998);Tavazoie et al., Nat Genet 1999 July; 22(3):281–5;

Genomatix, also makes available a GEMS Launcher program and otherprograms to identify promoter control elements and configuration of suchelements. Genomatix is located in Munich, Germany.

Other references also describe detection of promoter modules by modelsindependent of overall nucleotide sequence similarity. See, forinstance, Klingenhoff et al., Bioinformatics 15, 180–186 (1999).

Protein binding sites of promoters can be identified as reported in“Computer-assisted prediction, classification, and delimination ofprotein binding sites in nucleic acids”, Frech, et al., Nucleic AcidsResearch, Vol. 21, No. 7, 1655–1664, 1993.

Other programs used to identify protein binding sites include, forexample, Signal Scan, Prestridge et al., Comput. Appl. Biosci. 12:157–160 (1996); Matrix Search, Chen et al., Comput. Appl. Biosci. 11:563–566 (1995), available as part of Signal Scan 4.0; MatInspector,Ghosh et al., Nucl. Acid Res. 21: 3117–3118 (1993) available on theinternet, ConsInspector, Frech et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 21: 1655–1664(1993), available at on the internet; TFSearch; and TESS.

Frech et al., “Software for the analysis of DNA sequence elements oftranscription”, Bioinformatics & Sequence Analysis, Vol. 13, no. 1,89–97 (1997) is a review of different software for analysis of promotercontrol elements. This paper also reports the usefulness of matrix-basedapproaches to yield more specific results.

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

(3) Those Identifiable by In-Vitro and In-Vivo Assays

Promoter control elements also can be identified with in-vitro assays,such as transcription detection methods; and with in-vivo assays, suchas enhancer trapping protocols.

In-Vitro Assays

Examples of in-vitro assays include detection of binding of proteinfactors that bind promoter control elements. Fragments of the instantpromoters can be used to identify the location of promoter controlelements. Another option for obtaining a promoter control element withdesired properties is to modify known promoter sequences. This is basedon the fact that the function of a promoter is dependent on theinterplay of regulatory proteins that bind to specific, discretenucleotide sequences in the promoter, termed motifs. Such interplaysubsequently affects the general transcription machinery and regulatestranscription efficiency. These proteins are positive regulators ornegative regulators (repressors), and one protein can have a dual roledepending on the context (Johnson, P. F. and McKnight, S. L. Annu. Rev.Biochem. 58:799–839 (1989)).

One type of in-vitro assay utilizes a known DNA binding factor toisolate DNA fragments that bind. If a fragment or promoter variant doesnot bind, then a promoter control element has been removed or disrupted.For specific assays, see, for instance, B. Luo et al., J. Mol. Biol.266:470 (1997), S. Chusacultanachai et al., J. Biol. Chem. 274:23591(1999), D. Fabbro et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 213:781 (1995)).

Alternatively, a fragment of DNA suspected of conferring a particularpattern of specificity can be examined for activity in bindingtranscription factors involved in that specificity by methods such asDNA footprinting (e.g. D. J. Cousins et al., Immunology 99:101 (2000);V. Kolla et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 266:5 (1999)) or“mobility-shift” assays (E. D. Fabiani et al., J. Biochem. 347:147(2000); N. Sugiura et al., J. Biochem 347:155 (2000)) or fluorescencepolarization (e.g. Royer et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,445,935). Both mobilityshift and DNA footprinting assays can also be used to identify portionsof large DNA fragments that are bound by proteins in unpurifiedtranscription extracts prepared from tissues or organs of interest.

Cell-free transcription extracts can be prepared and used to directlyassay in a reconstitutable system (Narayan et al., Biochemistry 39:818(2000)).

All of the references cited in this section are hereby incorporated byreference.

In-Vivo Assays

Promoter control elements can be identified with reporter genes inin-vivo assays with the use of fragments of the instant promoters orvariants of the instant promoter polynucleotides.

For example, various fragments can be inserted into a vector, comprisinga basal or “core” promoter, for example, operably linked to a reportersequence, which, when transcribed, can produce a detectable label.Examples of reporter genes include those encoding luciferase, greenfluorescent protein, GUS, neo, cat and bar. Alternatively, reportersequence can be detected utilizing AFLP and microarray techniques.

In promoter probe vector systems, genomic DNA fragments are insertedupstream of the coding sequence of a reporter gene that is expressedonly when the cloned fragment contains DNA having transcriptionmodulation activity (Neve, R. L. et al., Nature 277:324–325 (1979)).Control elements are disrupted when fragments or variants lacking anytranscription modulation activity. Probe vectors have been designed forassaying transcription modulation in E. coli (An, G. et al., J. Bact.140:400–407 (1979)) and other bacterial hosts (Band, L. et al., Gene26:313–315 (1983); Achen, M. G., Gene 45:45–49 (1986)), yeast (Goodey,A. R. et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 204:505–511 (1986)) and mammalian cells(Pater, M. M. et al., J. Mol. App. Gen. 2:363–371 (1984)).

A different design of a promoter/control element trap includes packaginginto retroviruses for more efficient delivery into cells. One type ofretroviral enhancer trap was described by von Melchner et al. (GenesDev. 1992; U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,783). The basic design of this vectorincludes a reporter protein coding sequence engineered into the U3portion of the 3′ LTR. No splice acceptor consensus sequences areincluded, limiting its utility to work as an enhancer trap only. Adifferent approach to a gene trap using retroviral vectors was pursuedby Friedrich and Soriano (Genes Dev. 1991), who engineered a lacZ-neofusion protein linked to a splicing acceptor. LacZ-neo fusion proteinexpression from trapped loci allows not only for drug selection, butalso for visualization of β-galatactosidase expression using thechromogenic substrate, X-gal.

A general review of tools for identifying transcriptional regulatoryregions of genomic DNA is provided by J. W. Fickett et al. (Curr. Opn.Biotechnol. 11:19 (2000).

(4) Non-Natural Control Elements

Non-natural control elements can be constructed by inserting, deletingor substituting nucleotides into the promoter control elements describedabove. Such control elements are capable of transcription modulationthat can be determined using any of the assays described above.

D. Constructing Promoters with Control Elements

(1) Combining Promoters and Promoter Control Elements

The promoter polynucleotides and promoter control elements of thepresent invention, both naturally occurring and synthetic, can becombined with each other to produce the desired preferentialtranscription. Also, the polynucleotides of the invention can becombined with other known sequences to obtain other useful promoters tomodulate, for example, tissue transcription specific or transcriptionspecific to certain conditions. Such preferential transcription can bedetermined using the techniques or assays described above.

Fragments, variants, as well as full-length sequences those shown inTable 1 and relatives are useful alone or in combination.

The location and relation of promoter control elements within a promotercan affect the ability of the promoter to modulate transcription. Theorder and spacing of control elements is a factor when constructingpromoters.

(2) Number of Promoter Control Elements

Promoters can contain any number of control elements. For example, apromoter can contain multiple transcription binding sites or othercontrol elements. One element may confer tissue or organ specificity;another element may limit transcription to specific time periods, etc.Typically, promoters will contain at least a basal or core promoter asdescribed above. Any additional element can be included as desired. Forexample, a fragment comprising a basal or “core” promoter can be fusedwith another fragment with any number of additional control elements.

(3) Spacing Between Control Elements

Spacing between control elements or the configuration or controlelements can be determined or optimized to permit the desiredprotein-polynucleotide or polynucleotide interactions to occur.

For example, if two transcription factors bind to a promotersimultaneously or relatively close in time, the binding sites are spacedto allow each factor to bind without steric hinderance. The spacingbetween two such hybridizing control elements can be as small as aprofile of a protein bound to a control element. In some cases, twoprotein binding sites can be adjacent to each other when the proteinsbind at different times during the transcription process.

Further, when two control elements hybridize the spacing between suchelements will be sufficient to allow the promoter polynucleotide tohairpin or loop to permit the two elements to bind. The spacing betweentwo such hybridizing control elements can be as small as a t-RNA loop,to as large as 10 kb.

Typically, the spacing is no smaller than 5 bases; more typically, nosmaller than 8; more typically, no smaller than 15 bases; moretypically, no smaller than 20 bases; more typically, no smaller than 25bases; even more typically, no more than one of the following: 30, 35,40 or 50 bases.

Usually, the fragment size in no larger than 5 kb bases; more usually,no larger than 2 kb; more usually, no larger than 1 kb; more usually, nolarger than 800 bases; more usually, no larger than 500 bases; even moreusually, no more than one of the following: 250, 200, 150 or 100 bases.

Such spacing between promoter control elements can be determined usingthe techniques and assays described above.

E. Vectors

Vectors are a useful component of the present invention. In particular,the present promoters and/or promoter control elements may be deliveredto a system such as a cell by way of a vector. For the purposes of thisinvention, such delivery may range from simply introducing the promoteror promoter control element by itself randomly into a cell tointegration of a cloning vector containing the present promoter orpromoter control element. Thus, a vector need not be limited to a DNAmolecule such as a plasmid, cosmid or bacterial phage that has thecapability of replicating autonomously in a host cell. All other mannerof delivery of the promoters and promoter control elements of theinvention are envisioned. The various T-DNA vector types are a preferredvector for use with the present invention. Many useful vectors arecommercially available.

It may also be useful to attach a marker sequence to the presentpromoter and promoter control element in order to determine activity ofsuch sequences. Marker sequences typically include genes that provideantibiotic resistance, such as tetracycline resistance, hygromycinresistance or ampicillin resistance, or provide herbicide resistance.Specific selectable marker genes may be used to confer resistance toherbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate or broxynil (Comai et al.,Nature 317: 741–744 (1985); Gordon-Kamm et al., Plant Cell 2: 603–618(1990); and Stalker et al., Science 242: 419–423 (1988)). Other markergenes exist which provide hormone responsiveness.

(1) Modification of Transcription by Promoters and Promoter ControlElements

The promoter or promoter control element of the present invention may beoperably linked to a polynucleotide to be transcribed. In this manner,the promoter or promoter control element may modify transcription bymodulate transcript levels of that polynucleotide when inserted into agenome.

However, prior to insertion into a genome, the promoter or promotercontrol element need not be linked, operably or otherwise, to apolynucleotide to be transcribed. For example, the promoter or promotercontrol element may be inserted alone into the genome in front of apolynucleotide already present in the genome. In this manner, thepromoter or promoter control element may modulate the transcription of apolynucleotide that was already present in the genome. Thispolynucleotide may be native to the genome or inserted at an earliertime.

Alternatively, the promoter or promoter control element may be insertedinto a genome alone to modulate transcription. See, for example,Vaucheret, H et al. (1998) Plant J 16: 651–659, which is herebyincorporated by reference. Rather, the promoter or promoter controlelement may be simply inserted into a genome or maintainedextrachromosomally as a way to divert transcription resources of thesystem to itself. This approach may be used to down-regulate thetranscript levels of a group of polynucleotide(s).

(2) Polynucleotide to be Transcribed

The nature of the polynucleotide to be transcribed is not limited.Specifically, the polynucleotide may include sequences that will haveactivity as RNA as well as sequences that result in a polypeptideproduct. These sequences may include, but are not limited to antisensesequences, ribozyme sequences, spliceosomes, amino acid codingsequences, and fragments thereof.

Specific coding sequences may include, but are not limited to endogenousproteins or fragments thereof, or heterologous proteins including markergenes or fragments thereof.

Promoters and control elements of the present invention are useful formodulating metabolic or catabolic processes. Such processes include, butare not limited to, secondary product metabolism, amino acid synthesis,seed protein storage, oil development, pest defense and nitrogen usage.Some examples of genes, transcripts and peptides or polypeptidesparticipating in these processes, which can be modulated by the presentinvention: are tryptophan decarboxylase (tdc) and strictosidine synthase(str1), dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) and aspartate kinase (AK),2S albumin and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-zeins, ricinoleate and3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase (KAS), Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticidalprotein, cowpea trypsin inhibitor (CpTI), asparagine synthetase andnitrite reductase. Alternatively, expression constructs can be used toinhibit expression of these peptides and polypeptides by incorporatingthe promoters in constructs for antisense use, co-suppression use or forthe production of dominant negative mutations.

(3) Other Regulatory Elements

As explained above, several types of regulatory elements existconcerning transcription regulation. Each of these regulatory elementsmay be combined with the present vector if desired.

(4) Other Components of Vectors

Translation of eukaryotic mRNA is often initiated at the codon thatencodes the first methionine. Thus, when constructing a recombinantpolynucleotide according to the present invention for expressing aprotein product, it is preferable to ensure that the linkage between the3′ portion, preferably including the TATA box, of the promoter and thepolynucleotide to be transcribed, or a functional derivative thereof,does not contain any intervening codons which are capable of encoding amethionine.

The vector of the present invention may contain additional components.For example, an origin of replication allows for replication of thevector in a host cell. Additionally, homologous sequences flanking aspecific sequence allows for specific recombination of the specificsequence at a desired location in the target genome. T-DNA sequencesalso allow for insertion of a specific sequence randomly into a targetgenome.

The vector may also be provided with a plurality of restriction sitesfor insertion of a polynucleotide to be transcribed as well as thepromoter and/or promoter control elements of the present invention. Thevector may additionally contain selectable marker genes. The vector mayalso contain a transcriptional and translational initiation region, anda transcriptional and translational termination region functional in thehost cell. The termination region may be native with the transcriptionalinitiation region, may be native with the polynucleotide to betranscribed, or may be derived from another source. Convenienttermination regions are available from the Ti-plasmid of A. tumefaciens,such as the octopine synthase and nopaline synthase termination regions.See also, Guerineau et al., (1991) Mol. Gen. Genet. 262:141–144;Proudfoot (1991) Cell 64:671–674; Sanfacon et al. (1991) Genes Dev.5:141–149; Mogen et al. (1990) Plant Cell 2:1261–1272; Munroe et al.(1990) Gene 91:151–158; Ballas et al. 1989) Nucleic Acids Res.17:7891–7903; Joshi et al. (1987) Nucleic Acid Res. 15:9627–9639.

Where appropriate, the polynucleotide to be transcribed may be optimizedfor increased expression in a certain host cell. For example, thepolynucleotide can be synthesized using preferred codons for improvedtranscription and translation. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,380,831, 5,436, 391;see also and Murray et al., (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17:477–498.

Additional sequence modifications include elimination of sequencesencoding spurious polyadenylation signals, exon intron splice sitesignals, transposon-like repeats, and other such sequences wellcharacterized as deleterious to expression. The G-C content of thepolynucleotide may be adjusted to levels average for a given cellularhost, as calculated by reference to known genes expressed in the hostcell. The polynucleotide sequence may be modified to avoid hairpinsecondary mRNA structures.

A general description of expression vectors and reporter genes can befound in Gruber, et al., “Vectors for Plant Transformation, in Methodsin Plant Molecular Biology & Biotechnology” in Glich et al., (Eds. pp.89–119, CRC Press, 1993). Moreover GUS expression vectors and GUS genecassettes are available from Clonetech Laboratories, Inc., Palo Alto,Calif. while luciferase expression vectors and luciferase gene cassettesare available from Promega Corp. (Madison, Wis.). GFP vectors areavailable from Aurora Biosciences.

F. Polynucleotide Insertion into a Host Cell

The polynucleotides according to the present invention can be insertedinto a host cell. A host cell includes but is not limited to a plant,mammalian, insect, yeast, and prokaryotic cell, preferably a plant cell.

The method of insertion into the host cell genome is chosen based onconvenience. For example, the insertion into the host cell genome mayeither be accomplished by vectors that integrate into the host cellgenome or by vectors which exist independent of the host cell genome.

(1) Polynucleotides Autonomous of the Host Genome

The polynucleotides of the present invention can exist autonomously orindependent of the host cell genome. Vectors of these types are known inthe art and include, for example, certain type of non-integrating viralvectors, autonomously replicating plasmids, artificial chromosomes, andthe like.

Additionally, in some cases transient expression of a polynucleotide maybe desired.

(2) Polynucleotides Integrated into the Host Genome

The promoter sequences, promoter control elements or vectors of thepresent invention may be transformed into host cells. Thesetransformations may be into protoplasts or intact tissues or isolatedcells. Preferably expression vectors are introduced into intact tissue.General methods of culturing plant tissues are provided for example byMaki et al. “Procedures for Introducing Foreign DNA into Plants” inMethods in Plant Molecular Biology & Biotechnology, Glich et al. (Eds.pp. 67–88 CRC Press, 1993); and by Phillips et al. “Cell-Tissue Cultureand In-Vitro Manipulation” in Corn & Corn Improvement, 3rd Edition 10Sprague et al. (Eds. pp. 345–387) American Society of Agronomy Inc. etal. 1988.

Methods of introducing polynucleotides into plant tissue include thedirect infection or co-cultivation of plant cell with Agrobacteriumtumefaciens, Horsch et al., Science, 227:1229 (1985). Descriptions ofAgrobacterium vector systems and methods for Agrobacterium-mediated genetransfer provided by Gruber et al. supra.

Alternatively, polynucleotides are introduced into plant cells or otherplant tissues using a direct gene transfer method such asmicroprojectile-mediated delivery, DNA injection, electroporation andthe like. More preferably polynucleotides are introduced into planttissues using the microprojectile media delivery with the biolisticdevice. See, for example, Tomes et al., “Direct DNA transfer into intactplant cells via microprojectile bombardment” In: Gamborg and Phillips(Eds.) Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture: Fundamental Methods,Springer Verlag, Berlin (1995).

In another embodiment of the current invention, expression constructscan be used for gene expression in callus culture for the purpose ofexpressing marker genes encoding peptides or polypeptides that allowidentification of transformed plants. Here, a promoter that isoperatively linked to a polynucleotide to be transcribed is transformedinto plant cells and the transformed tissue is then placed oncallus-inducing media. If the transformation is conducted with leafdiscs, for example, callus will initiate along the cut edges. Oncecallus growth has initiated, callus cells can be transferred to callusshoot-inducing or callus root-inducing media. Gene expression will occurin the callus cells developing on the appropriate media: callusroot-inducing promoters will be activated on callus root-inducing media,etc. Examples of such peptides or polypeptides useful as transformationmarkers include, but are not limited to barstar, glyphosate,chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), kanamycin, spectinomycin,streptomycin or other antibiotic resistance enzymes, green fluorescentprotein (GFP), and O-glucuronidase (GUS), etc. Some of the exemplarypromoters of Table 1 will also be capable of sustaining expression insome tissues or organs after the initiation or completion ofregeneration. Examples of these tissues or organs are somatic embryos,cotyledon, hypocotyl, epicotyl, leaf, stems, roots, flowers and seed.

Integration into the host cell genome also can be accomplished bymethods known in the art, for example, by the homologous sequences orT-DNA discussed above or using the cre-lox system (A. C. Vergunst etal., Plant Mol. Biol. 38:393 (1998)).

G. Utility

Common Uses

In yet another embodiment, the promoters of the present invention can beused to further understand developmental mechanisms. For example,promoters that are specifically induced during callus formation, somaticembryo formation, shoot formation or root formation can be used toexplore the effects of overexpression, repression or ectopic expressionof target genes, or for isolation of trans-acting factors.

The vectors of the invention can be used not only for expression ofcoding regions but may also be used in exon-trap cloning, or promotertrap procedures to detect differential gene expression in varioustissues, K. Lindsey et al., 1993 “Tagging Genomic Sequences That DirectTransgene Expression by Activation of a Promoter Trap in Plants”,Transgenic Research 2:3347. D. Auch & Reth, et al., “Exon Trap Cloning:Using PCR to Rapidly Detect and Clone Exons from Genomic DNA Fragments”,Nucleic Acids Research, Vol. 18, No. 22, p. 674.

Entrapment vectors, first described for use in bacteria (Casadaban andCohen, 1979, Proc. Nat. Aca. Sci. U.S.A., 76: 4530; Casadaban et al.,1980, J. Bacteriol., 143: 971) permit selection of insertional eventsthat lie within coding sequences. Entrapment vectors can be introducedinto pluripotent ES cells in culture and then passed into the germlinevia chimeras (Gossler et al., 1989, Science, 244: 463; Skarnes, 1990,Biotechnology, 8: 827). Promoter or gene trap vectors often contain areporter gene, e.g., lacZ, lacking its own promoter and/or spliceacceptor sequence upstream. That is, promoter gene traps contain areporter gene with a splice site but no promoter. If the vector lands ina gene and is spliced into the gene product, then the reporter gene isexpressed.

Recently, the isolation of preferentially-induced genes has been madepossible with the use of sophisticated promoter traps (e.g. IVET) thatare based on conditional auxotrophy complementation or drug resistance.In one IVET approach, various bacterial genome fragments are placed infront of a necessary metabolic gene coupled to a reporter gene. The DNAconstructs are inserted into a bacterial strain otherwise lacking themetabolic gene, and the resulting bacteria are used to infect the hostorganism. Only bacteria expressing the metabolic gene survive in thehost organism; consequently, inactive constructs can be eliminated byharvesting only bacteria that survive for some minimum period in thehost. At the same time, constitutively active constructs can beeliminated by screening only bacteria that do not express the reportergene under laboratory conditions. The bacteria selected by such a methodcontain constructs that are selectively induced only during infection ofthe host. The IVET approach can be modified for use in plants toidentify genes induced in either the bacteria or the plant cells uponpathogen infection or root colonization. For information on IVET see thearticles by Mahan et al. in Science 259:686–688 (1993), Mahan et al. inPNAS USA 92:669–673 (1995), Heithoff et al. in PNAS USA 94:934–939(1997), and Wang et al. in PNAS USA. 93:10434 (1996).

Constitutive Transcription

Use of promoters and control elements providing constitutivetranscription is desired for modulation of transcription in most cellsof an organism under most environmental conditions. In a plant, forexample, constitutive transcription is useful for modulating genesinvolved in defense, pest resistance, herbicide resistance, etc.

Constitutive up-regulation and transcription down-regulation is usefulfor these applications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/orpolypeptides that increase defense, pest and herbicide resistance mayrequire constitutive up-regulation of transcription. In contrast,constitutive transcriptional down-regulation may be desired to inhibitthose genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides that lower defense, pestand herbicide resistance.

Typically, promoter or control elements that provide constitutivetranscription produce transcription levels that are statisticallysimilar in many tissues and environmental conditions observed.

Calculation of P-value from the different observed transcript levels isone means of determining whether a promoter or control element isproviding constitutive up-regulation. P-value is the probability thatthe difference of transcript levels is not statistically significant.The higher the P-value, the more likely the difference of transcriptlevels is not significant. One formula used to calculate P-value is asfollows:

∫φ(x)𝕕x, integrated  from  a  to  ∞, where  φ(x)  is  a  normal  distribution ;$\begin{matrix}{{{where}\mspace{14mu} a} = {{{Sx} - \mu}}} \\{{\sigma\left( {{all}\mspace{14mu}{Samples}\mspace{14mu}{except}\mspace{14mu}{Sx}} \right)};} \\{{{where}\mspace{14mu}{Sx}} = {{the}\mspace{14mu}{intensity}\mspace{14mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{the}\mspace{14mu}{sample}\mspace{14mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{interest}}} \\{{{{where}\mspace{14mu}\mu} = {{is}\mspace{14mu}{the}\mspace{14mu}{average}\mspace{14mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{the}\mspace{14mu}{intensities}\mspace{14mu}{of}\mspace{14mu}{all}\mspace{14mu}{samples}\mspace{14mu}{except}\mspace{14mu}{Sx}}},} \\{= \frac{\left( {\Sigma\;{S1}\mspace{11mu}\ldots\mspace{11mu}{Sn}} \right) - {Sx}}{n - 1}}\end{matrix}$

where σ(S1 . . . S11, not including Sx)=the standard deviation of allsample intensities except Sx.

The P-value from the formula ranges from 1.0 to 0.0.

Usually, each P-value of the transcript levels observed in a majority ofcells, tissues, or organs under various environmental conditionsproduced by the promoter or control element is greater than 10⁻⁸; moreusually, greater than 10⁻⁷; even more usually, greater than 10⁻⁶; evenmore usually, greater than 10⁻⁵ or 10⁻⁴.

For up-regulation of transcription, promoter and control elementsproduce transcript levels that are above background of the assay.

Stress Induced Preferential Transcription

Promoters and control elements providing modulation of transcriptionunder oxidative, drought, oxygen, wound, and methyl jasmonate stress areparticularly useful for producing host cells or organisms that are moreresistant to biotic and abiotic stresses. In a plant, for example,modulation of genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides in response tooxidative stress can protect cells against damage caused by oxidativeagents, such as hydrogen peroxide and other free radicals.

Drought induction of genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides are usefulto increase the viability of a plant, for example, when water is alimiting factor. In contrast, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptidesinduced during oxygen stress can help the flood tolerance of a plant.

The promoters and control elements of the present invention can modulatestresses similar to those described in, for example, stress conditionsare VuPLD1 (drought stress; Cowpea; see Pham-Thi et al., 1999, Plant MolBiol 1257–65), pyruvate decarboxylase (oxygen stress; rice; see Rivosalet al., 1997, Plant Physiol 114(3): 1021–29), chromoplast specificcarotenoid gene (oxidative stress; capsicum; see Bouvier et al., 1998, JBiol Chem 273: 30651–59).

Promoters and control elements providing preferential transcriptionduring wounding or induced by methyl jasmonate can produce a defenseresponse in host cells or organisms. In a plant, for example,preferential modulation of genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides undersuch conditions is useful to induce a defense response to mechanicalwounding, pest or pathogen attack or treatment with certain chemicals.

Promoters and control elements of the present invention also can triggera response similar to those described for cf9 (viral pathogen; tomato;see O'Donnell et al., 1998, Plant J 14(1): 137–42), hepatocyte growthfactor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1), which enhances tissueregeneration (tissue injury; human; Koono et al., 1999, J HistochemCytochem 47: 673-82), copper amine oxidase (CuAO), induced duringontogenesis and wound healing (wounding; chick-pea; Rea et al., 1998,FEBS Ltr 437: 177–82), proteinase inhibitor II (wounding; potato; seePena-Cortes et al., 1988, Planta 174: 84–89), protease inhibitor II(methyl jasmonate; tomato; see Farmer and Ryan, 1990, Proc Natl Acad SciUSA 87: 7713–7716), two vegetative storage protein genes VspA and VspB(wounding, jasmonic acid, and water deficit; soybean; see Mason andMullet, 1990, Plant Cell 2: 569–579).

Up-regulation and transcription down-regulation are useful for theseapplications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatincrease oxidative, flood, or drought tolerance may requireup-regulation of transcription. In contrast, transcriptionaldown-regulation may be desired to inhibit those genes, transcripts,and/or polypeptides that lower such tolerance.

Typically, promoter or control elements, which provide preferentialtranscription in wounding or under methyl jasmonate induction, producetranscript levels that are statistically significant as compared to celltypes, organs or tissues under other conditions.

For preferential up-regulation of transcription, promoter and controlelements produce transcript levels that are above background of theassay.

The promoters and control elements of the present invention also        can trigger responses similar to those described in: abscisic        acid insensitive3 (ABI3) (dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings, see        Rohde et al., 2000, Plant Cell 12: 35–52), asparagine synthetase        (pea root nodules, see Tsai and Coruzzi, 1990, EMBO J. 9:        323–32), mdm2 gene (human tumor; see Saucedo et al., 1998, Cell        Growth Differ 9: 119–30).

Up-regulation and transcription down-regulation are useful for theseapplications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatincrease drought or light tolerance may require up-regulation oftranscription. In contrast, transcriptional down-regulation may bedesired to inhibit those genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatlower such tolerance.

Typically, promoter or control elements, which provide preferentialtranscription in cells, tissues or organs exposed to light, producetranscript levels that are statistically significant as compared tocells, tissues, or organs under decreased light exposure (intensity orlength of time).

For preferential up-regulation of transcription, promoter and controlelements produce transcript levels that are above background of theassay.

The present promoters and control elements can also trigger        response similar to those described in the section above.

Up-regulation and transcription down-regulation is useful for theseapplications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatincrease growth and development may require up-regulation oftranscription.

-   -   (1) to modulate fruit size, shape, development, and maturity;    -   (2) to modulate the number of fruit or seeds;    -   (3) to modulate seed shattering;    -   (4) to modulate components of seeds, such as, storage molecules,        starch, protein, oil, vitamins, anti-nutritional components,        such as phytic acid;    -   (5) to modulate seed and/or seedling vigor or viability;    -   (6) to incorporate exogenous compositions into a seed, such as        lysine rich proteins;    -   (7) to permit similar fruit maturity timing for early and late        blooming flowers; or    -   (8) to modulate energy or nutrient usage in relation to other        organs and tissues.

Up-regulation and transcription down-regulation is useful for theseapplications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatincrease growth, for example, may require up-regulation oftranscription. In contrast, transcriptional down-regulation may bedesired to inhibit late fruit maturity, for instance.

Typically, promoter or control elements, which provide preferentialtranscription in the cells, tissues, or organs of siliques or fruits,produce transcript levels that are statistically significant as comparedto other cells, organs or tissues.

Callus Preferential Transcription

Promoters and control elements providing preferential transcription in acallus can be useful to modulating transcription in dedifferentiatedhost cells. In a plant transformation, for example, preferentialmodulation of genes, transcripts, in callus is useful to modulatetranscription of a marker gene, which can facilitate selection of cellsthat are transformed with exogenous polynucleotides.

Up-regulation and transcription down-regulation is useful for theseapplications. For instance, genes, transcripts, and/or polypeptides thatincrease marker gene detectability, for example, may requireup-regulation of transcription. In contrast, transcriptionaldown-regulation may be desired to increase the ability of the callusesto later differentiate, for instance.

Typically, promoter or control elements, which provide preferentialtranscription in callus, produce transcript levels that arestatistically significant as compared to other cell types, tissues, ororgans. Calculation of P-value from the different observed transcriptlevels is one means of determining whether a promoter or control elementis providing such preferential transcription.

Usually, each P-value of the transcript levels observed in callus ascompared to, at least one other cell type, tissue or organ, is less than10⁻⁴; more usually, less than 10⁻⁵; even more usually, less than 10⁻⁶;even more usually, less than 10⁻⁷ or 10⁻⁸.

Senescence Preferential Transcription

Promoters and control elements providing preferential transcriptionduring senescencing can be used to modulate cell degeneration, nutrientmobilization, and scavenging of free radicals in host cells ororganisms. Other types of responses that can be modulated include, forexample, senescence associated genes (SAG) that encode enzymes thoughtto be involved in cell degeneration and nutrient mobilization(arabidopsis; see Hensel et al. 1993. Plant Cell 5: 553–64), and theCP-2/cathepsin L gene (rat; Kim and Wright. 1997. Biol Reprod 57:1467–77), both induced during senescence.

In a plant, for example, preferential modulation of genes, transcripts,and/or polypeptides during senescence is useful to modulate fruitripening.

Microarray Analysis

A major way that a cell controls its response to internal or externalstimuli is by regulating the rate of transcription of specific genes.For example, the differentiation of cells during organogenesis intoforms characteristic of the organ is associated with the selectiveactivation and repression of large numbers of genes. Thus, specificorgans, tissues and cells are functionally distinct due to the differentpopulations of mRNAs and protein products they possess. Internal signalsprogram the selective activation and repression programs. For example,internally synthesized hormones produce such signals. The level ofhormone can be raised by increasing the level of transcription of genesencoding proteins concerned with hormone synthesis.

To measure how a cell reacts to internal and/or external stimuli,individual mRNA levels can be measured and used as an indicator for theextent of transcription of the gene. Cells can be exposed to a stimulus,and mRNA can be isolated and assayed at different time points afterstimulation. The mRNA from the stimulated cells can be compared tocontrol cells that were not stimulated. The mRNA levels that are higherin the stimulated cell versus the control indicate a stimulus-specificresponse of the cell. The same is true of mRNA levels that are lower instimulated cells versus the control condition.

Similar studies can be performed with cells taken from an organism witha defined mutation in their genome as compared with cells without themutation. Altered mRNA levels in the mutated cells indicate how themutation causes transcriptional changes. These transcriptional changesare associated with the phenotype that the mutated cells exhibit that isdifferent from the phenotype exhibited by the control cells.

Applicants have utilized microarray techniques to measure the levels ofmRNAs in cells from plants transformed with a construct containing thepromoter or control elements of the present invention together withtheir endogenous cDNA sequences. In general, transformants with theconstructs were grown to an appropriate stage, and tissue samples wereprepared for the microarray differential expression analysis. In thismanner it is possible to determine the differential expression for thecDNAs under the control of the endogenous promoter under variousconditions.

At 4 weeks aftergermination, the soil pots are transferred to shade environment (16 hlight/8 h dark; Red=376 μW/cm², Blue=266 μW/cm², Far Red=552 μW/cm²) forvarious durations of exposure time (1, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hrs).After timed exposure, above ground tissue is flash frozen with liquidnitrogen and stored at −80° C. Control seedlings are not transferred,but are collected at same time as the corresponding shade-exposedexperimental samples.

(mm) Shoots

Sterilized wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana seeds (ecotype Wassilewskija)are sown on MS plates (0.5% sucrose, 1.5% agar) after 3 day-coldtreatment. The plates are placed vertically in a Percival growth chamber(16:8 light cycles, 22° C.) so that roots grow vertically on the agarsurface. The shoots or aerials, harvested after 7d- and 14d-growth inthe chamber, are used as the experimental samples. The control sample isderived from tissues harvested from 3 week-old plants that are grown insoil in a Conviron chamber (16:8 light cycles, 22° C.), includingrosettes, roots, stems, flowers, and siliques.

(nn) Siliques

Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Wassilewskija) seeds are sown inmoistened soil mix, metromix 200 with osmocote, and stratified at 4° C.for 3 days in dark. Flats are placed in a Conviron growth chambermaintained at 16 h light (22° C.), 8 h dark (20° C.) and 70% humidity.After 3 weeks, siliques (<5 mm long) are collected in liquid nitrogen.The control samples are 3-week old whole plants (including all tissuetypes) grown in the same Conviron growth chamber.

(oo) Cytokinin (BA)

Seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Wassilewskija) are sown in traysand left at 4° C. for 4 days to vernalize. They are then transferred toa growth chamber having 16 hr light/8 hr dark, 13,000 LUX, 70% humidity,20° C. temperature and watered twice a week with 1 L of 1× Hoagland'ssolution. Approximately 1,000 14 day old plants are spayed with 200–250mls of 100 μM BA in a 0.02% solution of the detergent Silwet L-77.Aerial tissues (everything above the soil line) are harvested within a15 to 20 minute time period 1 hr and 6 hrs after treatment, flash-frozenin liquid nitrogen and stored at −80° C.

Seeds of maize hybrid 35A (Pioneer) are sown in water-moistened sand inflats (10 rows, 5–6 seed/row) and covered with clear, plastic lidsbefore being placed in a growth chamber having 16 hr light (25° C.)/8 hrdark (20° C.), 75% relative humidity and 13,000–14,000 LUX. Coveredflats were watered every three days for 7 days. Seedlings are carefullyremoved from the sand and placed in 1-liter beakers with 100 μM BA fortreatment. Control plants are treated with water. After 6 hr, aerial androot tissues are separated and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen prior tostorage at −80° C.

2. Microarray Hybridization Procedures

Microarray technology provides the ability to monitor mRNA transcriptlevels of thousands of genes in a single experiment. These experimentssimultaneously hybridize two differentially labeled fluorescent cDNApools to glass slides that have been previously spotted with cDNA clonesof the same species. Each arrayed cDNA spot will have a correspondingratio of fluorescence that represents the level of disparity between therespective mRNA species in the two sample pools. Thousands ofpolynucleotides can be spotted on one slide, and each experimentgenerates a global expression pattern.

Coating Slides

The microarray consists of a chemically coated microscope slide,referred herein as a “chip” with numerous polynucleotide samples arrayedat a high density. The poly-L-lysine coating allows for this spotting athigh density by providing a hydrophobic surface, reducing the spreadingof spots of DNA solution arrayed on the slides. Glass microscope slides(Gold Seal #3010 manufactured by Gold Seal Products, Portsmouth, N.H.,USA) were coated with a 0.1% W/V solution of Poly-L-lysine (Sigma, St.Louis, Mo.) using the following protocol:

-   1. Slides were placed in slide racks (Shandon Lipshaw #121). The    racks were then put in chambers (Shandon Lipshaw #121).-   2. Cleaning solution was prepared:    -   70 g NaOH was dissolved in 280 mL ddH2O.    -   420 mL 95% ethanol was added. The total volume was 700 mL        (=2×350 mL); it was stirred until completely mixed. If the        solution remained cloudy, ddH₂O was added until clear.-   3. The solution was poured into chambers with slides; the chambers    were covered with glass lids. The solution was mixed on an orbital    shaker for 2 hr.-   4. The racks were quickly transferred to fresh chambers filled with    ddH₂O. They were rinsed vigorously by plunging racks up and down.    Rinses were repeated 4× with fresh ddH₂O each time, to remove all    traces of NaOH-ethanol.-   5. Polylysine solution was prepared:    -   0 mL poly-L-lysine+70 mL tissue culture PBS in 560 mL water,        using plastic graduated cylinder and beaker.-   6. Slides were transferred to polylysine solution and shaken for 1    hr.-   7. The rack was transferred to a fresh chambers filled with ddH₂O.    It was plunged up and down 5× to rinse.-   8. The slides were centrifuged on microtiter plate carriers (paper    towels were placed below the rack to absorb liquid) for 5 min. @ 500    rpm. The slide racks were transferred to empty chambers with covers.-   9. Slide racks were dried in a 45 C. oven for 10 min.-   10. The slides were stored in a closed plastic slide box.-   11. Normally, the surface of lysine coated slides was not very    hydrophobic immediately after this process, but became increasingly    hydrophobic with storage. A hydrophobic surface helped ensure that    spots didn't run together while printing at high densities. After    they aged for 10 days to a month the slides were ready to use.    However, coated slides that have been sitting around for long    periods of time were usually too old to be used. This was because    they developed opaque patches, visible when held to the light, and    these resulted in high background hybridization from the fluorescent    probe. Alternatively, pre-coated glass slides were purchased from    TeleChem International, Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif., 94089; catalog    number SMM-25, Superamine substrates).    PCR Amplification of cDNA Clone Inserts

Polynucleotides were amplified from Arabidopsis cDNA clones using insertspecific probes. The resulting 100 uL PCR reactions were purified withQiaquick 96 PCR purification columns (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif., USA) andeluted in 30 uL of 5 mM Tris. 8.5 uL of the elution were mixed with 1.5uL of 20×SSC to give a final spotting solution of DNA in 3×SSC. Theconcentrations of DNA generated from each clone varied between 10–100ng/ul, but were usually about 50 ng/ul.

Arraying of PCR Products on Glass Slides

PCR products from cDNA clones were spotted onto the poly-L-Lysine coatedglass slides using an arrangement of quill-tip pins (ChipMaker 3spotting pins; Telechem, International, Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., USA)and a robotic arrayer (PixSys 3500, Cartesian Technologies, Irvine,Calif., USA). Around 0.5 nl of a prepared PCR product was spotted ateach location to produce spots with approximately 100 um diameters. Spotcenter-to-center spacing was from 180 um to 210 um depending on thearray. Printing was conducted in a chamber with relative humidity set at50%.

Slides containing maize sequences were purchased from Agilent Technology(Palo Alto, Calif. 94304).

Post-Processing of Slides

After arraying, slides were processed through a series ofsteps—rehydration, UV cross-linking, blocking and denaturation—requiredprior to hybridization. Slides were rehydrated by placing them over abeaker of warm water (DNA face down), for 2–3 sec, to distribute the DNAmore evenly within the spots, and then snap dried on a hot plate (DNAside, face up). The DNA was then cross-linked to the slides by UVirradiation (60–65 mJ; 2400 Stratalinker, Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.,USA).

Following this a blocking step was performed to modify remaining freelysine groups, and hence minimize their ability to bind labeled probeDNA. To achieve this the arrays were placed in a slide rack. An emptyslide chamber was left ready on an orbital shaker. The rack was bentslightly inwards in the middle, to ensure the slides would not run intoeach other while shaking. The blocking solution was prepared as follows:

-   3×350-ml glass chambers (with metal tops) were set to one side, and    a large round Pyrex dish with dH₂O was placed ready in the    microwave. At this time, 15 ml sodium borate was prepared in a 50 ml    conical tube.

6-g succinic anhydride was dissolved in approx. 325–350 mL1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. Rapid addition of reagent was crucial.

a. Immediately after the last flake of the succinic anhydride dissolved,the 15-mL sodium borate was added.

b. Immediately after the sodium borate solution mixed in, the solutionwas poured into an empty slide chamber.

c. The slide rack was plunged rapidly and evenly in the solution. It wasvigorously shaken up and down for a few seconds, making sure slidesnever left the solution.

d. It was mixed on an orbital shaker for 15–20 min. Meanwhile, the waterin the Pyrex dish (enough to cover slide rack) was heated to boiling.

Following this, the slide rack was gently plunge in the 95 C. water(just stopped boiling) for 2 min. Then the slide rack was plunged 5× in95% ethanol. The slides and rack were centrifuged for 5 min. @ 500 rpm.The slides were loaded quickly and evenly onto the carriers to avoidstreaking. The arrays were used immediately or store in slide box.

The Hybridization process began with the isolation of mRNA from the twotissues (see “Isolation of total RNA” and “Isolation of mRNA”, below) inquestion followed by their conversion to single stranded cDNA (see“Generation of probes for hybridization”, below). The cDNA from eachtissue was independently labeled with a different fluorescent dye andthen both samples were pooled together. This final differentiallylabeled cDNA pool was then placed on a processed microarray and allowedto hybridize (see “Hybridization and wash conditions”, below).

Isolation of Total RNA

Approximately 1 g of plant tissue was ground in liquid nitrogen to afine powder and transferred into a 50-ml centrifuge tube containing 10ml of Trizol reagent. The tube was vigorously vortexed for 1 min andthen incubated at room temperature for 10–20 min. on an orbital shakerat 220 rpm. Two ml of chloroform was added to the tube and the solutionvortexed vigorously for at least 30-sec before again incubating at roomtemperature with shaking. The sample was then centrifuged at 12,000×g(10,000 rpm) for 15–20 min at 4° C. The aqueous layer was removed andmixed by inversion with 2.5 ml of 1.2 M NaCl/0.8 M Sodium Citrate and2.5 ml of isopropyl alcohol added. After a 10 min. incubation at roomtemperature, the sample was centrifuged at 12,000×g (10,000 rpm) for 15min at 4° C. The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol, re-centrifuged at8,000 rpm for 5 min and then air dried at room temperature for 10 min.The resulting total RNA was dissolved in either TE (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mMEDTA, pH 8.0) or DEPC (diethylpyrocarbonate) treated deionized water(RNAse-free water). For subsequent isolation of mRNA using the Qiagenkit, the total RNA pellet was dissolved in RNAse-free water.

Isolation of mRNA

mRNA was isolated using the Qiagen Oligotex mRNA Spin-Column protocol(Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.). Briefly, 500 μl OBB buffer (20 mM Tris-Cl,pH 7.5, 1 M NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 0.2% SDS) was added to 500 μl of total RNA(0.5–0.75 mg) and mixed thoroughly. The sample was first incubated at70° C. for 3 min, then at room temperature for 10 minutes and finallycentrifuged for 2 min at 14,000–18,000×g. The pellet was resuspended in400 μl OW2 buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA) byvortexing, the resulting solution placed on a small spin column in a 1.5ml RNase-free microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged for 1 min at14,000–18,000×g. The spin column was transferred to a new 1.5 mlRNase-free microcentrifuge tube and washed with 400 μl of OW2 buffer. Torelease the isolated mRNA from the resin, the spin column was againtransferred to a new RNase-free 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube, 20–100 μl70° C. OEB buffer (5 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5) added and the resin resuspendedin the resulting solution via pipeting. The mRNA solution was collectedafter centrifuging for 1 min at 14,000–18,000×g.

Alternatively, mRNA was isolated using the Stratagene Poly(A) Quik mRNAIsolation Kit (Startagene, La Jolla, Calif.). Here, up to 0.5 mg oftotal RNA (maximum volume of 1 ml) was incubated at 65° C. for 5minutes, snap cooled on ice and 0.1× volumes of 10× sample buffer (10 mMTris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) 5 M NaCl) added. The RNA samplewas applied to a prepared push column and passed through the column at arate of ˜1 drop every 2 sec. The solution collected was reapplied to thecolumn and collected as above. 200 μl of high salt buffer (10 mMTris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 NaCl) was applied to the column andpassed through the column at a rate of ˜1 drop every 2 sec. This stepwas repeated and followed by three low salt buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 M NaCl) washes preformed in a similar manner. mRNAwas eluted by applying to the column four separate 200 μl aliquots ofelution buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA) preheated to 65° C.Here, the elution buffer was passed through the column at a rate of 1drop/sec. The resulting mRNA solution was precipitated by adding 0.1×volumes of 10× sample buffer, 2.5 volumes of ice-cold 100% ethanol,incubating overnight at −20° C. and centrifuging at 14,000–18,000×g for20–30 min at 4° C. The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol and air driedfor 10 min. at room temperature before resuspension in RNase-freedeionized water.

Preparation of Yeast Controls

Plasmid DNA was isolated from the following yeast clones using Qiagenfiltered maxiprep kits (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif.): YAL022c(Fun26),YAL031c(Fun21), YBR032w, YDL131w, YDL182w, YDL194w, YDL196w, YDR050c andYDR116c. Plasmid DNA was linearized with either BsrBI (YAL022c(Fun26),YAL031c(Fun21), YDL131w, YDL182w, YDL194w, YDL196w, YDR050c) or AflIII(YBR032w, YDR116c) and isolated.

In Vitro Transcription of Yeast Clones

The following solution was incubated at 37° C. for 2 hours: 17 μl ofisolated yeast insert DNA (1 μg), 20 μl 5× buffer, 10 μl 100 mM DTT, 2.5μl (100 U) RNasin, 20 μl 2.5 mM (ea.) rNTPs, 2.7 μl (40 U) SP6polymerase and 27.8 μl RNase-free deionized water. 2 μl (2 U) AmpliDNase I was added and the incubation continued for another 15 min. 10 μl5M NH₄OAC and 100 μl phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1) wereadded, the solution vortexed and then centrifuged to separate thephases. To precipitate the RNA, 250 μl ethanol was added and thesolution incubated at −20° C. for at least one hour. The sample was thencentrifuged for 20 min at 4° C. at 14,000–18,000×g, the pellet washedwith 500 μl of 70% ethanol, air dried at room temperature for 10 min andresuspended in 100 μl of RNase-free deionized water. The precipitationprocedure was then repeated.

Alternatively, after the two-hour incubation, the solution was extractedwith phenol/chloroform once before adding 0.1 volume 3M sodium acetateand 2.5 volumes of 100% ethanol. The solution was centrifuged at 15,000rpm, 4° C. for 20 minutes and the pellet resuspended in RNase-freedeionized water. The DNase I treatment was carried out at 37° C. for 30minutes using 2 U of Ampli DNase I in the following reaction condition:50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl₂. The DNase I reaction was thenstopped with the addition of NH₄OAC and phenol:chloroform:isoamylalcohol (25:24:1), and RNA isolated as described above.

0.15–2.5 ng of the in vitro transcript RNA from each yeast clone wereadded to each plant mRNA sample prior to labeling to serve as positive(internal) probe controls.

Generation of Probes for Hybridization

Generation of Labeled Probes for Hybridization from First-strand cDNA

Hybridization probes were generated from isolated mRNA using an Atlas™Glass Fluorescent Labeling Kit (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Palo Alto,Calif., USA). This entails a two step labeling procedure that firstincorporates primary aliphatic amino groups during cDNA synthesis andthen couples fluorescent dye to the cDNA by reaction with the aminofunctional groups. Briefly, 5 μg of oligo(dT)₁₈ primerd(TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTV SEQ ID NO: 67) was mixed with Poly A+ mRNA (1.5–2μg mRNA isolated using the Qiagen Oligotex mRNA Spin-Column protocolor—the Stratagene Poly(A) Quik mRNA Isolation protocol (Stratagene, LaJolla, Calif., USA)) in a total volume of 25 μl. The sample wasincubated in a thermocycler at 70° C. for 5 min, cooled to 48° C. and 10μl of 5× cDNA Synthesis Buffer (kit supplied), 5 μl 10× dNTP mix (dATP,dCTP, dGTP, dTTP and aminoallyl-dUTP; kit supplied), 7.5 μl deionizedwater and 2.5 μl MMLV Reverse Transcriptase (500 U) added. The reactionwas then incubated at 48° C. for 30 minutes, followed by 1 hr incubationat 42° C. At the end of the incubation the reaction was heated to 70° C.for 10 min, cooled to 37° C. and 0.5 μl (5 U) RNase H added, beforeincubating for 15 min at 37° C. The solution was vortexed for 1 minafter the addition of 0.5 μl 0.5 M EDTA and 5 μl of QuickClean Resin(kit supplied) then centrifuged at 14,000–18,000×g for 1 min. Afterremoving the supernatant to a 0.45 μm spin filter (kit supplied), thesample was again centrifuged at 14,000–18,000×g for 1 min, and 5.5 μl 3M sodium acetate and 137.5 μl of 100% ethanol added to the sample beforeincubating at −20° C. for at least 1 hr. The sample was then centrifugedat 14,000–18,000×g at 4° C. for 20 min, the resulting pellet washed with500 μl 70% ethanol, air-dried at room temperature for 10 min andresuspended in 10 μl of 2× fluorescent labeling buffer (kit provided).10 μl each of the fluorescent dyes Cy3 and Cy5 (Amersham Pharmacia(Piscataway, N.J., USA); prepared according to Atlas™ kit directions ofClontech) were added and the sample incubated in the dark at roomtemperature for 30 min.

The fluorescently labeled first strand cDNA was precipitated by adding 2μl 3M sodium acetate and 50 μl 100% ethanol, incubated at −20° C. for atleast 2 hrs, centrifuged at 14,000–18,000×g for 20 min, washed with 70%ethanol, air-dried for 10 min and dissolved in 100 μl of water.

Alternatively, 3–4 μg mRNA, 2.5 (˜8.9 ng of in vitro translated mRNA) μlyeast control and 3 μg oligo dTV (TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT(A/C/G) (SEQ ID NO:68) were mixed in a total volume of 24.7 μl. The sample was incubated ina thermocycler at 70° C. for 10 min. before chilling on ice. To this, 8μl of 5× first strand buffer (SuperScript II RNase H- ReverseTranscriptase kit from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, Calif. 92008); cat no.18064022), 0.8° C. of aa-dUTP/dNTP mix (50×; 25 mM dATP, 25 mM dGTP, 25mM dCTP, 15 mM dTTP, 10 mM aminoallyl-dUTP), 4 μl of 0.1 M DTT and 2.5μl (500 units) of Superscript R.T.II enzyme (Stratagene) were added. Thesample was incubated at 42° C. for 2 hours before a mixture of 10° C. of1 M NaOH and 10° C. of 0.5 M EDTA were added. After a 15 minuteincubation at 65° C., 25 μl of 1 M Tris pH 7.4 was added. This was mixedwith 450 μl of water in a Microcon 30 column before centrifugation at11,000×g for 12 min. The column was washed twice with 450 μl(centrifugation at 11,000 g, 12 min.) before eluting the sample byinverting the Microcon column and centrifuging at 11,000×g for 20seconds. Sample was dehydrated by centrifugation under vacuum and storedat −20° C.

Each reaction pellet was dissolved in 9 μl of 0.1 M carbonate buffer(0.1 M sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, pH=8.5–9) and 4.5 μl ofthis placed in two microfuge tubes. 4.5 μl of each dye (in DMSO) wereadded and the mixture incubated in the dark for 1 hour. 4.5 μl of 4 Mhydroxylamine was added and again incubated in the dark for 15 minutes.

Regardless of the method used for probe generation, the probe waspurified using a Qiagen PCR cleanup kit (Qiagen, Valencia, Calif., USA),and eluted with 100 ul EB (kit provided). The sample was loaded on aMicrocon YM-30 (Millipore, Bedford, Mass., USA) spin column andconcentrated to 4–5 ul in volume. Probes for the maize microarrays weregenerated using the Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (cat. No.G2556A) from Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, Calif.).

Hybridization and Wash Conditions

The following Hybridization and Washing Condition were developed:

Hybridization Conditions:

Labeled probe was heated at 95° C. for 3 min and chilled on ice. Then 25□L of the hybridization buffer which was warmed at 42 C was added to theprobe, mixing by pipeting, to give a final concentration of:

-   50% formamide    -   4×SSC    -   0.03% SDS-   5× Denhardt's solution-   0.1 μg/ml single-stranded salmon sperm DNA

The probe was kept at 42 C. Prior to the hybridization, the probe washeated for 1 more min., added to the array, and then covered with aglass cover slip. Slides were placed in hybridization chambers(Telechem, Sunnyvale, Calif.) and incubated at 42° C. overnight.

Washing Conditions:

-   A. Slides were washed in 1×SSC+0.03% SDS solution at room    temperature for 5 minutes,-   B. Slides were washed in 0.2×SSC at room temperature for 5 minutes,-   C. Slides were washed in 0.05×SSC at room temperature for 5 minutes.

After A, B, and C, slides were spun at 800×g for 2 min. to dry. Theywere then scanned.

Maize microarrays were hybridized according to the instructions includedFluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (cat. No. G2556A) from AgilentTechnologies (Palo Alto, Calif.).

Scanning of Slides

The chips were scanned using a ScanArray 3000 or 5000 (General Scanning,Watertown, Mass., USA). The chips were scanned at 543 and 633 nm, at 10um resolution to measure the intensity of the two fluorescent dyesincorporated into the samples hybridized to the chips.

Data Extraction and Analysis

The images generated by scanning slides consisted of two 16-bit TIFFimages representing the fluorescent emissions of the two samples at eacharrayed spot. These images were then quantified and processed forexpression analysis using the data extraction software Imagene™(Biodiscovery, Los Angeles, Calif., USA). Imagene output wassubsequently analyzed using the analysis program Genespring™ (SiliconGenetics, San Carlos, Calif., USA). In Genespring, the data was importedusing median pixel intensity measurements derived from Imagene output.Background subtraction, ratio calculation and normalization were allconducted in Genespring. Normalization was achieved by breaking the datain to 32 groups, each of which represented one of the 32 pin printingregions on the microarray. Groups consist of 360 to 550 spots. Eachgroup was independently normalized by setting the median of ratios toone and multiplying ratios by the appropriate factor.

Results

Table 4 presents the results of the differential expression experimentsfor the mRNAs, as reported by their corresponding cDNA ID number, thatwere differentially transcribed under a particular set of conditions ascompared to a control sample. The cDNA ID numbers correspond to thoseutilized. Increases in mRNA abundance levels in experimental plantsversus the controls are denoted with the plus sign (+). Likewise,reductions in mRNA abundance levels in the experimental plants aredenoted with the minus (−) sign.

Organ-affecting Genes, Gene Components, Products (IncludingDifferentiation and Function)

Root Genes

The economic values of roots arise not only from harvested adventitiousroots or tubers, but also from the ability of roots to funnel nutrientsto support growth of all plants and increase their vegetative material,seeds, fruits, etc. Roots have four main functions. First, they anchorthe plant in the soil. Second, they facilitate and regulate themolecular signals and molecular traffic between the plant, soil, andsoil fauna. Third, the root provides a plant with nutrients gained fromthe soil or growth medium. Fourth, they condition local soil chemicaland physical properties.

Root genes are active or potentially active to a greater extent in rootsthan in most other organs of the plant. These genes and gene productscan regulate many plant traits from yield to stress tolerance. Rootgenes can be used to modulate root growth and development.

Differential Expression of the Sequences in Roots

The relative levels of mRNA product in the root versus the aerialportion of the plant was measured. Specifically, mRNA was isolated fromroots and root tips of Arabidopsis plants and compared to mRNA isolatedfrom the aerial portion of the plants utilizing microarray procedures.

Root Hair Genes, Gene Components and Products

Root hairs are specialized outgrowths of single epidermal cells termedtrichoblasts. In many and perhaps all species of plants, thetrichoblasts are regularly arranged around the perimeter of the root. InArabidopsis, for example, trichoblasts tend to alternate with non-haircells or atrichoblasts. This spatial patterning of the root epidermis isunder genetic control, and a variety of mutants have been isolated inwhich this spacing is altered or in which root hairs are completelyabsent.

The root hair development genes of the instant invention are useful tomodulate one or more processes of root hair structure and/or functionincluding (1) development; (2) interaction with the soil and soilcontents; (3) uptake and transport in the plant; and (4) interactionwith microorganisms.

1.) Development

The surface cells of roots can develop into single epidermal cellstermed trichoblasts or root hairs. Some of the root hairs will persistfor the life of the plant; others will gradually die back; some maycease to function due to external influences. These genes and geneproducts can be used to modulate root hair density or root hair growth;including rate, timing, direction, and size, for example. These genesand gene products can also be used to modulate cell properties such ascell size, cell division, rate and direction and number, cellelongation, cell differentiation, lignified cell walls, epidermal cells(including trichoblasts) and root apical meristem cells (growth andinitiation); and root hair architecture such as leaf cells under thetrichome, cells forming the base of the trichome, trichome cells, androot hair responses.

In addition these genes and gene products can be used to modulate one ormore of the growth and development processes in response to internalplant programs or environmental stimuli in, for example, the seminalsystem, nodal system, hormone responses, Auxin, root cap abscission,root senescence, gravitropism, coordination of root growth anddevelopment with that of other organs (including leaves, flowers, seeds,fruits, and stems), and changes in soil environment (including water,minerals, Ph, and microfauna and flora).

2.) Interaction with Soil and Soil Contents

Root hairs are sites of intense chemical and biological activity and asa result can strongly modify the soil they contact. Roots hairs can becoated with surfactants and mucilage to facilitate these activities.Specifically, roots hairs are responsible for nutrient uptake bymobilizing and assimilating water, reluctant ions, organic and inorganiccompounds and chemicals. In addition, they attract and interact withbeneficial microfauna and flora. Root hairs also help to mitigate theeffects of toxic ions, pathogens and stress. Thus, root hair genes andgene products can be used to modulate traits such as root hairsurfactant and mucilage (including composition and secretion rate andtime); nutrient uptake (including water, nitrate and other sources ofnitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and micronutrients (e.g. iron, copper,etc.); microbe and nematode associations (such as bacteria includingnitrogen-fixing bacteria, mycorrhizae, nodule-forming and othernematodes, and nitrogen fixation); oxygen transpiration; detoxificationeffects of iron, aluminum, cadmium, mercury, salt, and other soilconstituents; pathogens (including chemical repellents) glucosinolates(GSL1), which release pathogen-controlling isothiocyanates; and changesin soil (such as Ph, mineral excess and depletion), and rhizosheath.

3.) Transport of Materials in Plants

Uptake of the nutrients by the root and root hairs contributes asource-sink effect in a plant. The greater source of nutrients, the moresinks, such as stems, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, etc. can drawsustenance to grow. Thus, root hair development genes and gene productscan be used to modulate the vigor and yield of the overall plant as wellas distinct cells, organs, or tissues of a plant. The genes and geneproducts, therefore, can modulate plant nutrition, growth rate (such aswhole plant, including height, flowering time, etc., seedling,coleoptile elongation, young leaves, stems, flowers, seeds and fruit)and yield, including biomass (fresh and dry weight during any time inplant life, including maturation and senescence), number of flowers,number of seeds, seed yield, number, size, weight and harvest index(content and composition, e.g. amino acid, jasmonate, oil, protein andstarch) and fruit yield (number, size, weight, harvest index, and postharvest quality).

Reproduction Genes, Gene Components and Products

Reproduction genes are defined as genes or components of genes capableof modulating any aspect of sexual reproduction from flowering time andinflorescence development to fertilization and finally seed and fruitdevelopment. These genes are of great economic interest as well asbiological importance. The fruit and vegetable industry grosses over $1billion USD a year. The seed market, valued at approximately $15 billionUSD annually, is even more lucrative.

Inflorescence and Floral Development Genes, Gene Components and Products

During reproductive growth the plant enters a program of floraldevelopment that culminates in fertilization, followed by the productionof seeds. Senescence may or may not follow. The flower formation is aprecondition for the sexual propagation of plants and is thereforeessential for the propagation of plants that cannot be propagatedvegetatively as well as for the formation of seeds and fruits. The pointof time at which the merely vegetative growth of plants changes intoflower formation is of vital importance for example in agriculture,horticulture and plant breeding. Also the number of flowers is often ofeconomic importance, for example in the case of various useful plants(tomato, cucumber, zucchini, cotton etc.) with which an increased numberof flowers may lead to an increased yield, or in the case of growingornamental plants and cut flowers.

Flowering plants exhibit one of two types of inflorescence architecture:indeterminate, in which the inflorescence grows indefinitely, ordeterminate, in which a terminal flower is produced. Adult organs offlowering plants develop from groups of stem cells called meristems. Theidentity of a meristem is inferred from structures it produces:vegetative meristems give rise to roots and leaves, inflorescencemeristems give rise to flower meristems, and flower meristems give riseto floral organs such as sepals and petals. Not only are meristemscapable of generating new meristems of different identity, but their ownidentity can change during development. For example, a vegetative shootmeristem can be transformed into an inflorescence meristem upon floralinduction, and in some species, the inflorescence meristem itself willeventually become a flower meristem. Despite the importance of meristemtransitions in plant development, little is known about the underlyingmechanisms.

Following germination, the shoot meristem produces a series of leafmeristems on its flanks. However, once floral induction has occurred,the shoot meristem switches to the production of flower meristems.Flower meristems produce floral organ primordia, which developindividually into sepals, petals, stamens or carpels. Thus, flowerformation can be thought of as a series of distinct developmental steps,i.e. floral induction, the formation of flower primordia and theproduction of flower organs. Mutations disrupting each of the steps havebeen isolated in a variety of species, suggesting that a genetichierarchy directs the flowering process (see for review, Weigel andMeyerowitz, In Molecular Basis of Morphogenesis (ed. M. Bernfield). 51stAnnual Symposium of the Society for Developmental Biology, pp. 93–107,New York, 1993).

Expression of many reproduction genes and gene products is orchestratedby internal programs or the surrounding environment of a plant. Thesegenes can be used to modulate traits such as fruit and seed yield.

Seed and Fruit Development Genes, Gene Components and Products

The ovule is the primary female sexual reproductive organ of floweringplants. At maturity it contains the egg cell and one large central cellcontaining two polar nuclei encased by two integuments that, afterfertilization, develops into the embryo, endosperm, and seed coat of themature seed, respectively. As the ovule develops into the seed, theovary matures into the fruit or silique. As such, seed and fruitdevelopment requires the orchestrated transcription of numerouspolynucleotides, some of which are ubiquitous, others that areembryo-specific and still others that are expressed only in theendosperm, seed coat, or fruit. Such genes are termed fruit developmentresponsive genes and can be used to modulate seed and fruit growth anddevelopment such as seed size, seed yield, seed composition and seeddormancy.

Imbibition and Germination Responsive Genes, Gene Components andProducts

Seeds are a vital component of the world's diet. Cereal grains alone,which comprise ˜90% of all cultivated seeds, contribute up to half ofthe global per capita energy intake. The primary organ system for seedproduction in flowering plants is the ovule. At maturity, the ovuleconsists of a haploid female gametophyte or embryo sac surrounded byseveral layers of maternal tissue including the nucleus and theinteguments. The embryo sac typically contains seven cells including theegg cell, two synergids, a large central cell containing two polarnuclei, and three antipodal cells. That pollination results in thefertilization of both egg and central cell. The fertilized egg developsinto the embryo. The fertilized central cell develops into theendosperm. And the integuments mature into the seed coat. As the ovuledevelops into the seed, the ovary matures into the fruit or silique.Late in development, the developing seed ends a period of extensivebiosynthetic and cellular activity and begins to desiccate to completeits development and enter a dormant, metabolically quiescent state. Seeddormancy is generally an undesirable characteristic in agriculturalcrops, where rapid germination and growth are required. However, somedegree of dormancy is advantageous, at least during seed development.This is particularly true for cereal crops because it preventsgermination of grains while still on the ear of the parent plant(preharvest sprouting), a phenomenon that results in major losses to theagricultural industry. Extensive domestication and breeding of cropspecies have ostensibly reduced the level of dormancy mechanisms presentin the seeds of their wild ancestors, although under some adverseenvironmental conditions, dormancy may reappear. By contrast, weed seedsfrequently mature with inherent dormancy mechanisms that allow someseeds to persist in the soil for many years before completinggermination.

Germination commences with imbibition, the uptake of water by the dryseed, and the activation of the quiescent embryo and endosperm. Theresult is a burst of intense metabolic activity. At the cellular level,the genome is transformed from an inactive state to one of intensetranscriptional activity. Stored lipids, carbohydrates and proteins arecatabolized fueling seedling growth and development. DNA and organellesare repaired, replicated and begin functioning. Cell expansion and celldivision are triggered. The shoot and root apical meristem are activatedand begin growth and organogenesis. Schematic 4 summarizes some of themetabolic and cellular processes that occur during imbibition.Germination is complete when a part of the embryo, the radicle, extendsto penetrate the structures that surround it. In Arabidopsis, seedgermination takes place within twenty-four (24) hours after imbibition.As such, germination requires the rapid and orchestrated transcriptionof numerous polynucleotides. Germination is followed by expansion of thehypocotyl and opening of the cotyledons. Meristem development continuesto promote root growth and shoot growth, which is followed by early leafformation.

Imbibition and Germination Genes

Imbibition and germination includes those events that commence with theuptake of water by the quiescent dry seed and terminate with theexpansion and elongation of the shoots and roots. The germination periodexists from imbibition to when part of the embryo, usually the radicle,extends to penetrate the seed coat that surrounds it. Imbibition andgermination genes are defined as genes, gene components and productscapable of modulating one or more processes of imbibition andgermination described above. They are useful to modulate many planttraits from early vigor to yield to stress tolerance.

Hormone Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Abscissic Acid Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plant hormones are naturally occurring substances, effective in verysmall amounts, which act as signals to stimulate or inhibit growth orregulate developmental processes in plants. Abscisic acid (ABA) is aubiquitous hormone in vascular plants that has been detected in everymajor organ or living tissue from the root to the apical bud. The majorphysiological responses affected by ABA are dormancy, stress stomatalclosure, water uptake, abscission and senescence. In contrast to Auxins,cytokinins and gibberellins, which are principally growth promoters, ABAprimarily acts as an inhibitor of growth and metabolic processes.

Changes in ABA concentration internally or in the surroundingenvironment in contact with a plant results in modulation of many genesand gene products. These genes and/or products are responsible foreffects on traits such as plant vigor and seed yield.

While ABA responsive polynucleotides and gene products can act alone,combinations of these polynucleotides also affect growth anddevelopment. Useful combinations include different ABA responsivepolynucleotides and/or gene products that have similar transcriptionprofiles or similar biological activities, and members of the same orsimilar biochemical pathways. Whole pathways or segments of pathways arecontrolled by transcription factor proteins and proteins controlling theactivity of signal transduction pathways. Therefore, manipulation ofsuch protein levels is especially useful for altering phenotypes andbiochemical activities of plants. In addition, the combination of an ABAresponsive polynucleotide and/or gene product with anotherenvironmentally responsive polynucleotide is also useful because of theinteractions that exist between hormone-regulated pathways, stress anddefense induced pathways, nutritional pathways and development.

Brassinosteroid Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plant hormones are naturally occurring substances, effective in verysmall amounts, which act as signals to stimulate or inhibit growth orregulate developmental processes in plants. Brassinosteroids (BRs) arethe most recently discovered, and least studied, class of planthormones. The major physiological response affected by BRs is thelongitudinal growth of young tissue via cell elongation and possiblycell division. Consequently, disruptions in BR metabolism, perceptionand activity frequently result in a dwarf phenotype. In addition,because BRs are derived from the sterol metabolic pathway, anyperturbations to the sterol pathway can affect the BR pathway. In thesame way, perturbations in the BR pathway can have effects on the laterpart of the sterol pathway and thus the sterol composition of membranes.

Changes in BR concentration in the surrounding environment or in contactwith a plant result in modulation of many genes and gene products. Thesegenes and/or products are responsible for effects on traits such asplant biomass and seed yield. These genes were discovered andcharacterized from a much larger set of genes by experiments designed tofind genes whose mRNA abundance changed in response to application ofBRs to plants.

While BR responsive polynucleotides and gene products can act alone,combinations of these polynucleotides also affect growth anddevelopment. Useful combinations include different BR responsivepolynucleotides and/or gene products that have similar transcriptionprofiles or similar biological activities, and members of the same orfunctionally related biochemical pathways. Whole pathways or segments ofpathways are controlled by transcription factors and proteinscontrolling the activity of signal transduction pathways. Therefore,manipulation of such protein levels is especially useful for alteringphenotypes and biochemical activities of plants. In addition, thecombination of a BR responsive polynucleotide and/or gene product withanother environmentally responsive polynucleotide is useful because ofthe interactions that exist between hormone-regulated pathways, stresspathways, nutritional pathways and development. Here, in addition topolynucleotides having similar transcription profiles and/or biologicalactivities, useful combinations include polynucleotides that may havedifferent transcription profiles but which participate in common oroverlapping pathways.

Metabolism Affecting Genes Gene Components and Products

Nitrogen Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Nitrogen is often the rate-limiting element in plant growth, and allfield crops have a fundamental dependence on exogenous nitrogen sources.Nitrogenous fertilizer, which is usually supplied as ammonium nitrate,potassium nitrate, or urea, typically accounts for 40% of the costsassociated with crops, such as corn and wheat in intensive agriculture.Increased efficiency of nitrogen use by plants should enable theproduction of higher yields with existing fertilizer inputs and/orenable existing yields of crops to be obtained with lower fertilizerinput, or better yields on soils of poorer quality. Also, higher amountsof proteins in the crops could also be produced more cost-effectively.“Nitrogen responsive” genes and gene products can be used to alter ormodulate plant growth and development.

Viability Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plants contain many proteins and pathways that when blocked or inducedlead to cell, organ or whole plant death. Gene variants that influencethese pathways can have profound effects on plant survival, vigor andperformance. The critical pathways include those concerned withmetabolism and development or protection against stresses, diseases andpests. They also include those involved in apoptosis and necrosis.Viability genes can be modulated to affect cell or plant death.

Herbicides are, by definition, chemicals that cause death of tissues,organs and whole plants. The genes and pathways that are activated orinactivated by herbicides include those that cause cell death as well asthose that function to provide protection.

Stress Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Wounding Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plants are continuously subjected to various forms of wounding fromphysical attacks including the damage created by pathogens and pests,wind, and contact with other objects. Therefore, survival andagricultural yields depend on constraining the damage created by thewounding process and inducing defense mechanisms against future damage.

Plants have evolved complex systems to minimize and/or repair localdamage and to minimize subsequent attacks by pathogens or pests or theireffects. These involve stimulation of cell division and cell elongationto repair tissues, induction of programmed cell death to isolate thedamage caused mechanically and by invading pests and pathogens, andinduction of long-range signaling systems to induce protectingmolecules, in case of future attack. The genetic and biochemical systemsassociated with responses to wounding are connected with thoseassociated with other stresses such as pathogen attack and drought.

Wounding responsive genes and gene products can be used to alter ormodulate traits such as growth rate; whole plant height, width, orflowering time; organ development (such as coleoptile elongation, youngleaves, roots, lateral roots, tuber formation, flowers, fruit, andseeds); biomass; fresh and dry weight during any time in plant life,such as at maturation; number of flowers; number of seeds; seed yield,number, size, weight, harvest index (such as content and composition,e.g., amino acid, nitrogen, oil, protein, and carbohydrate); fruityield, number, size, weight, harvest index, post harvest quality,content and composition (e.g., amino acid, carotenoid, jasmonate,protein, and starch); seed and fruit development; germination of dormantand non-dormant seeds; seed viability, seed reserve mobilization, fruitripening, initiation of the reproductive cycle from a vegetative state,flower development time, insect attraction for fertilization, time tofruit maturity, senescence; fruits, fruit drop; leaves; stress anddisease responses; drought; heat and cold; wounding by any source,including wind, objects, pests and pathogens; uv and high light damage(insect, fungus, virus, worm, nematode damage).

Cold Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

The ability to endure low temperatures and freezing is a majordeterminant of the geographical distribution and productivity ofagricultural crops. Even in areas considered suiTable for thecultivation of a given species or cultivar, can give rise to yielddecreases and crop failures as a result of aberrant, freezingtemperatures. Even modest increases (1–2° C.) in the freezing toleranceof certain crop species would have a dramatic impact on agriculturalproductivity in some areas. The development of genotypes with increasedfreezing tolerance would provide a more reliable means to minimize croplosses and diminish the use of energy-costly practices to modify themicroclimate.

Sudden cold temperatures result in modulation of many genes and geneproducts, including promoters. These genes and/or products areresponsible for effects on traits such as plant vigor and seed yield.

Manipulation of one or more cold responsive gene activities is useful tomodulate growth and development.

Heat Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

The ability to endure high temperatures is a major determinant of thegeographical distribution and productivity of agricultural crops.Decreases in yield and crop failure frequently occur as a result ofaberrant, hot conditions even in areas considered suiTable for thecultivation of a given species or cultivar. Only modest increases in theheat tolerance of crop species would have a dramatic impact onagricultural productivity. The development of genotypes with increasedheat tolerance would provide a more reliable means to minimize croplosses and diminish the use of energy-costly practices to modify themicroclimate.

Changes in temperature in the surrounding environment or in a plantmicroclimate results in modulation of many genes and gene products.

Only modest increases in thedrought tolerance of crop species would have a dramatic impact onagricultural productivity. The development of genotypes with increaseddrought tolerance would provide a more reliable means to minimize croplosses and diminish the use of energy-costly practices to modify themicroclimate.

Drought conditions in the surrounding environment or within a plant,results in modulation of many genes and gene products.

Methyl Jasmonate (Jasmonate) Responsive Genes, Gene Components AndProducts

Jasmonic acid and its derivatives, collectively referred to asjasmonates, are naturally occurring derivatives of plant lipids. Thesesubstances are synthesized from linolenic acid in alipoxygenase-dependent biosynthetic pathway. Jasmonates are signalingmolecules which have been shown to be growth regulators as well asregulators of defense and stress responses. As such, jasmonatesrepresent a separate class of plant hormones. Jasmonate responsive genescan be used to modulate plant growth and development.

Differential Expression of the Sequences in Methyl Jasmonate TreatedPlants

The relative levels of mRNA product in methyl jasmonate treated plantswere compared to control plants.

Salicylic Acid Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plant defense responses can be divided into two groups: constitutive andinduced. Salicylic acid (SA) is a signaling molecule necessary foractivation of the plant induced defense system known as systemicacquired resistance or SAR. This response, which is triggered by priorexposure to avirulent pathogens, is long lasting and provides protectionagainst a broad spectrum of pathogens. Another induced defense system isthe hypersensitive response (HR). HR is far more rapid, occurs at thesites of pathogen (avirulent pathogens) entry and precedes SAR. SA isalso the key signaling molecule for this defense pathway.

Differential Expression of the Sequences in Salicylic Acid TreatedPlants

The relative levels of mRNA product in salicylic acid treated plantswere compared to control plants.

Osmotic Stress Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

The ability to endure and recover from osmotic and salt related stressis a major determinant of the geographical distribution and productivityof agricultural crops. Osmotic stress is a major component of stressimposed by saline soil and water deficit. Decreases in yield and cropfailure frequently occur as a result of aberrant or transientenvironmental stress conditions even in areas considered suitable forthe cultivation of a given species or cultivar. Only modest increases inthe osmotic and salt tolerance of a crop species would have a dramaticimpact on agricultural productivity. The development of genotypes withincreased osmotic tolerance would provide a more reliable means tominimize crop losses and diminish the use of energy-costly practices tomodify the soil environment. Thus, osmotic stress responsive genes canbe used to modulate plant growth and development.

Differential Expression of the Sequences in PEG Treated Plants

The relative levels of mRNA product in PEG treated plants were comparedto control plants.

Shade Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

Plants sense the ratio of Red (R):Far Red (FR) light in theirenvironment and respond differently to particular ratios. A low R:FRratio, for example, enhances cell elongation and favors flowering overleaf production. The changes in R:FR ratios mimic and cause the shadingresponse effects in plants. The response of a plant to shade in thecanopy structures of agricultural crop fields influences crop yieldssignificantly. Therefore manipulation of genes regulating the shadeavoidance responses can improve crop yields. While phytochromes mediatethe shade avoidance response, the down-stream factors participating inthis pathway are largely unknown. One potential downstream participant,ATHB-2, is a member of the HD-Zip class of transcription factors andshows a strong and rapid response to changes in the R:FR ratio. ATHB-2over-expressors have a thinner root mass, smaller and fewer leaves andlonger hypocotyls and petioles. This elongation arises from longerepidermal and cortical cells, and a decrease in secondary vasculartissues, paralleling the changes observed in wild-type seedlings grownunder conditions simulating canopy shade. On the other hand, plants withreduced ATHB-2 expression have a thick root mass and many larger leavesand shorter hypocotyls and petioles. Here, the changes in the hypocotylresult from shorter epidermal and cortical cells and increasedproliferation of vascular tissue. Interestingly, application of Auxin isable to reverse the root phenotypic consequences of high ATHB-2 levels,restoring the wild-type phenotype. Consequently, given that ATHB-2 istightly regulated by phytochrome, these data suggest that ATHB-2 maylink the Auxin and phytochrome pathways in the shade avoidance responsepathway.

Shade responsive genes can be used to modulate plant growth anddevelopment.

Viability Genes Gene Components and Products

Plants contain many proteins and pathways that when blocked or inducedlead to cell, organ or whole plant death. Gene variants that influencethese pathways can have profound effects on plant survival, vigor andperformance. The critical pathways include those concerned withmetabolism and development or protection against stresses, diseases andpests. They also include those involved in apoptosis and necrosis. Theapplicants have elucidated many such genes and pathways by discoveringgenes that when inactivated lead to cell or plant death.

Herbicides are, by definition, chemicals that cause death of tissues,organs and whole plants. The genes and pathways that are activated orinactivated by herbicides include those that cause cell death as well asthose that function to provide protection. The applicants haveelucidated these genes.

The genes defined in this section have many uses including manipulatingwhich cells, tissues and organs are selectively killed, which areprotected, making plants resistant to herbicides, discovering newherbicides and making plants resistant to various stresses.

Viability genes were also identified from a much larger set of genes byexperiments designed to find genes whose mRNA products changed inconcentration in response to applications of different herbicides toplants. Viability genes are characteristically differentiallytranscribed in response to fluctuating herbicide levels orconcentrations, whether internal or external to an organism or cell. TheMA_diff Table reports the changes in transcript levels of variousviability genes.

Early Seedling-phase Specific Responsive Genes, Gene Components andProducts

One of the more active stages of the plant life cycle is a few daysafter germination is complete, also referred to as the early seedlingphase. During this period the plant begins development and growth of thefirst leaves, roots, and other organs not found in the embryo. Generallythis stage begins when germination ends. The first sign that germinationhas been completed is usually that there is an increase in length andfresh weight of the radicle. Such genes and gene products can regulate anumber of plant traits to modulate yield. For example, these genes areactive or potentially active to a greater extent in developing andrapidly growing cells, tissues and organs, as exemplified by developmentand growth of a seedling 3 or 4 days after planting a seed.

Rapid, efficient establishment of a seedling is very important incommercial agriculture and horticulture. It is also vital that resourcesare approximately partitioned between shoot and root to facilitateadaptive growth. Phototropism and geotropism need to be established. Allthese require post-germination process to be sustained to ensure thatvigorous seedlings are produced. Early seedling phase genes, genecomponents and products are useful to manipulate these and otherprocesses.

Guard Cell Genes, Gene Components and Products

Scattered throughout the epidermis of the shoot are minute pores calledstomata. Each stomal pore is surrounded by two guard cells. The guardcells control the size of the stomal pore, which is critical since thestomata control the exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vaporbetween the interior of the plant and the outside atmosphere. Stomataopen and close through turgor changes driven by ion fluxes, which occurmainly through the guard cell plasma membrane and tonoplast. Guard cellsare known to respond to a number of external stimuli such as changes inlight intensity, carbon dioxide and water vapor, for example. Guardcells can also sense and rapidly respond to internal stimuli includingchanges in ABA, auxin and calcium ion flux.

Thus, genes, gene products, and fragments thereof differentiallytranscribed and/or translated in guard cells can be useful to modulateABA responses, drought tolerance, respiration, water potential, andwater management as examples. All of which can in turn affect plantyield including seed yield, harvest index, fruit yield, etc.

To identify such guard cell genes, gene products, and fragments thereof,Applicants have performed a microarray experiment comparing thetranscript levels of genes in guard cells versus leaves. Experimentaldata is shown below.

Nitric Oxide Responsive Genes, Gene Components and Products

The rate-limiting element in plant growth and yield is often its abilityto tolerate suboptimal or stress conditions, including pathogen attackconditions, wounding and the presence of various other factors. Tocombat such conditions, plant cells deploy a battery of inducibledefense responses, including synergistic interactions between nitricoxide (NO), reactive oxygen intermediates (ROS), and salicylic acid(SA). NO has been shown to play a critical role in the activation ofinnate immune and inflammatory responses in animals. At least part ofthis mammalian signaling pathway is present in plants, where NO is knownto potentiate the hypersensitive response (HR). In addition, NO is astimulator molecule in plant photomorphogenesis.

Changes in nitric oxide concentration in the internal or surroundingenvironment, or in contact with a plant, results in modulation of manygenes and gene products.

In addition, the combination of a nitric oxide responsive polynucleotideand/or gene product with other environmentally responsivepolynucleotides is also useful because of the interactions that existbetween hormone regulated pathways, stress pathways, pathogen stimulatedpathways, nutritional pathways and development.

Nitric oxide responsive genes and gene products can function either toincrease or dampen the above phenotypes or activities either in responseto changes in nitric oxide concentration or in the absence of nitricoxide fluctuations. More specifically, these genes and gene products canmodulate stress responses in an organism. In plants, these genes andgene products are useful for modulating yield under stress conditions.Measurements of yield include seed yield, seed size, fruit yield, fruitsize, etc.

Shoot-apical Meristem Genes, Gene Components and Products

New organs, stems, leaves, branches and inflorescences develop from thestem apical meristem (SAM). The growth structure and architecture of theplant therefore depends on the behavior of SAMs. Shoot apical meristems(SAMs) are comprised of a number of morphologically undifferentiated,dividing cells located at the tips of shoots. SAM genes elucidated hereare capable of modifying the activity of SAMs and thereby many traits ofeconomic interest from ornamental leaf shape to organ number toresponses to plant density.

In addition, a key attribute of the SAM is its capacity forself-renewal. Thus, SAM genes of the instant invention are useful formodulating one or more processes of SAM structure and/or functionincluding (I) cell size and division; (II) cell differentiation andorgan primordia. The genes and gene components of this invention areuseful for modulating any one or all of these cell division processesgenerally, as in timing and rate, for example. In addition, thepolynucleotides and polypeptides of the invention can control theresponse of these processes to the internal plant programs associatedwith embryogenesis, and hormone responses, for example.

Because SAMs determine the architecture of the plant, modified plantswill be useful in many agricultural, horticultural, forestry and otherindustrial sectors. Plants with a different shape, numbers of flowersand seed and fruits will have altered yields of plant parts. Forexample, plants with more branches can produce more flowers, seed orfruits. Trees without lateral branches will produce long lengths ofclean timber. Plants with greater yields of specific plant parts will beuseful sources of constituent chemicals.

Recipes:        0.2% Phytagar    -   2 g Phytagar    -   1 L nanopure water        -   Shake until Phytagar suspended        -   Autoclave 20 min            YEB (for 1 L)    -   5 g extract of meat    -   5 g Bacto peptone    -   1 g yeast extract    -   5 g sucrose    -   0.24 g magnesium sulfate        -   While stirring, add ingredients, in order, to 900 ml            nanopure water        -   When dissolved, adjust pH to 7.2        -   Fill to 1 L with nanopure water        -   Autoclave 35 min            Infiltration Medium (IM) (for 1 L)    -   2.2 g MS salts    -   50 g sucrose    -   5 ul BAP solution (stock is 2 mg/ml)        -   While stirring, add ingredients in order listed to 900 ml            nanopure water        -   When dissolved, adjust pH to 5.8.        -   Volume up to 1 L with nanopure water.        -   Add 0.02% Silwet L-77 just prior to resuspending            Agrobacterium

High Throughput Screening—T1 Generation

1. Soil Preparation. Wear Gloves at all Times.

-   -   In a large container, mix 60% autoclaved SunshineMix #5 with 40%        vermiculite.    -   Add 2.5 Tbsp of Osmocote, and 2.5 Tbsp of 1% granular Marathon        per 25 L of soil.    -   Mix thoroughly.        2. Fill Com-Packs with Soil.    -   Loosely fill D601 Com-Packs level to the rim with the prepared        soil.    -   Place filled pot into utility flat with holes, within a no-hole        utility flat.    -   Repeat as necessary for planting. One flat set should contain 6        pots.        3. Saturate Soil.    -   Evenly water all pots until the soil is saturated and water is        collecting in the bottom of the flats.    -   After the soil is completely saturated, dump out the excess        water.        4. Plant the Seed.        5. Stratify the Seeds.    -   After sowing the seed for all the flats, place them into a dark        4° C. cooler.    -   Keep the flats in the cooler for 2 nights for WS seed. Other        ecotypes may take longer. This cold treatment will help promote        uniform germination of the seed.        6. Remove Flats from Cooler and Cover with Shade Cloth. (Shade        Cloth is Only Needed in the Greenhouse)    -   After the appropriate time, remove the flats from the cooler and        place onto growth racks or benches.    -   Cover the entire set of flats with 55% shade cloth. The cloth is        necessary to cut down the light intensity during the delicate        germination period.    -   The cloth and domes should remain on the flats until the        cotyledons have fully expanded. This usually takes about 4–5        days under standard greenhouse conditions.        7. Remove 55% Shade Cloth and Propagation Domes.    -   After the cotyledons have fully expanded, remove both the 55%        shade cloth and propagation domes.        8. Spray Plants with Finale Mixture. Wear Gloves and Protective        Clothing at All Times.    -   Prepare working Finale mixture by mixing 3 ml concentrated        Finale in 48 oz of water in the Poly-TEK sprayer.    -   Completely and evenly spray plants with a fine mist of the        Finale mixture.    -   Repeat Finale spraying every 3–4 days until only transformants        remain. (Approximately 3 applications are necessary.)    -   When satisfied that only transformants remain, discontinue        Finale spraying.        9. Weed Out Excess Transformants.

Weed out excess transformants such that a maximum number of five plantsper pot exist evenly spaced throughout the pot.

T1 Mature: These are the T1 plants resulting from independenttransformation events. These are screened between stage 6.50–6.90 (meansthe plant is flowering and that 50–90% of the flowers that the plantwill make have developed) which is 4–6 weeks of age. At this stage themature plant possesses flowers, siliques at all stages of development,and fully expanded leaves. We do not generally differentiate between6.50 and 6.90 in the report but rather just indicate 6.50. The plantsare initially imaged under UV with a Leica Confocal microscope. Thisallows examination of the plants on a global level. If expression ispresent, they are imaged using scanning laser confocal micsrocopy.

T2 Seedling: Progeny are collected from the T1 plants giving the sameexpression pattern and the progeny (T2) are sterilized and plated onagar-solidified medium containing M&S salts. In the event that there wasno expression in the T1 plants, T2 seeds are planted from all lines. Theseedlings are grown in Percival incubators under continuous light at 22°C. for 10–12 days. Cotyledons, roots, hypocotyls, petioles, leaves, andthe shoot meristem region of individual seedlings were screened untiltwo seedlings were observed to have the same pattern. Generally foundthe same expression pattern was found in the first two seedlings.However, up to 6 seedlings were screened before “no expression pattern”was recorded. All constructs are screened as T2 seedlings even if theydid not have an expression pattern in the T1 generation.

T2 Mature: The T2 mature plants were screened in a similar manner to theT1 plants. The T2 seeds were planted in the greenhouse, exposed toselection and at least one plant screened to confirm the T1 expressionpattern. In instances where there were any subtle changes in expression,multiple plants were examined and the changes noted in the tables.

T3 Seedling: This was done similar to the T2 seedlings except that onlythe plants for which we are trying to confirm the pattern are planted.

Image Data:

Images are collected by scanning laser confocal microscopy. Scannedimages are taken as 2-D optical sections or 3-D images generated bystacking the 2-D optical sections collected in series. All scannedimages are saved as TIFF files by imaging software, edited in AdobePhotoshop, and labeled in Powerpoint specifying organ and specificexpressing tissues.

Promoter utility Utility: Translocation, seed fill. Improvedloading of phloem, increased source capacity. Increased seed yield.Notes: The polysaccharide xyloglucan is thought to play an importantstructural role in the primary cell wall of dicotyledons. Endodermis:Recent studies have implicated these cell types in gravity perception bysedimentation of starch within these cells. Gravity perception by dicotorgans involves primarily the sedimentation of amyloplasts withinspecialized cells (statocytes) located in the columella region of theroot cap and in the starch sheath, which constitutes the endodermis ofhypocotyls and inflorescence stems (Kiss et al., 1996; Kuznetsov andHasenstein, 1996; Blancaflor et al., 1998; Weise et al., 2000). Inshoots, sedimentable amyloplasts and the curvature response togravistimulation occur along the elongation zone (for review, see Massonet al., 2002). After amyloplast sedimentation, signals are likelytransduced within the endodermal cells, and physiological signals aretransported laterally to affect elongation of cortical and epidermalcells. In roots, sites of gravity perception and curvature response maybe physically separated (Poff and Martin, 1989).

Notes: Abstracts; Elucidating the completemolecular determination of a self-incompatibility (SI) system in plantshas grown significantly with recent investigations of the sporophyticincompatibility system in the genus Brassica. Male (pollen) and female(stigma) components of the recognition/incompatibility reaction appearto be controlled by separate genes that reside in a small genomic region(the S-locus; see YU et al. 1996

; SCHOPFER et al. 1999

). The interaction between male and female components is not completelyunderstood, but it is thought that a pollen surface protein acts as aligand that is recognized by a transmembrane protein in the papillarycells on the surface of the stigma. When the pollen and pistilspecificities are from the same S-allele, pollen tube growth isinhibited. The stigma component of this recognition system is nowthought to be the S-locus receptor kinase, encoded by the SRK gene. Thisprotein has an extracellular glycoprotein domain and an intracellularserine-threonine protein kinase (STEIN et al. 1991

) and has been shown to be necessary, and perhaps sufficient, fordetermining specificity (CUI et al. 2000

; TAKASAKI et al. 2000

). A second protein, S-locus glycoprotein, encoded by the closely linkedSLG gene, is not in itself sufficient for determining specificity,although it may be necessary for proper rejection of incompatible pollen(SHIBA et al. 2000

; TAKASAKI et al. 2000

). SLG sequences show homology to those of the first exon of SRK (theS-domain). A pollen coat protein, encoded by the linked SCR gene, hasrecently been shown to be necessary and sufficient for determination ofthe pollen specificity (SCHOPFER et al. 1999

; TAKAYAMA et al. 2000
